i have a form, every post on this form is connected to a deliverer in a table, every deliverer has a faxnr.
I want to be able to push a button on a form and it will fax the form to that deliverer, how woud this be done?
Ive checked that microsoft page about send object and stuff but i dont get much and it doesnt seem to be what i want to do.
Is this thing even possible in access?
When i try a sendobject command, i get "coudnt start the mail software, check that the software works" translated from swedish.@@1@@1
Is there a way to tie a send object to a combo box on a form? I know I can write a query to pull information from a selection in a combo box using the [form][formname]thing. What I'm trying to do is I've created a database that allows many users to enter a request in a form. then when the form is complete they need to E-mail the form to their respective manager. I want them to choose from a combo box, then click on a button and the form is e-mailed to their manager for approval. I've gotten everything else to work accept for being able to choose the manager. I know I could also leave that blank and it will ask for them to enter the recipients name. If that's my only option I'm ok with that.
Thanks
PS If this issue has already been addressed I couldn't find it.
I used sendobject to send the object via Lotus Notes, but I want to skip to click the Send button from the Lotus Notes, everytime, when I sent, it goes to the Lotus Notes, then I need to click the send button again on the Lotus Notes for confirmation to send the mail. How can I skip it?
Hoping someone can help - need to know if there is a way to use a Outlook message other than the blank one that is used with the send object macro.
Maybe a normal message with a signature, template or something - when the macro is run, no formatting is included with the e-mail message, and the body of the message is limited to 255 charaacters.
Would like to use a customized message, and I need the send object macro to place the object in that message format.
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it...thanks.
I am using a command button to email an invoice to a customer using the sendobject function, whilst this almost works correctly it is adding an additional mailto:address along with the correct email address.
Example: CorrectEmailAddress and then#mailto:CorrectEmailAddress
The code I am using is:
On Error Resume Next Dim Cusemail As String Cusemail = Nz(DLookup("Email", "invoiceemailQ", "orderID=" & OrderID), "") If Cusemail = "" Then MsgBox "No email Address" Exit Sub
ok, i have been searching on google and the forums for sending forms/reports as outlook atachments.
all the examples i have seen are more complicated than my one.. i have one form.. and i just want to email those details.. in the form are the fields, one textbox where you put the email address, and one send email form button..
i got it working using a long module, that i didnt understand..and then i was told about the DoCmd.SendObject method which looks a lot easier..
i have one request, in the simple database i have uploaded, will someone show me where to put the code.. the db is VERY simple, and quick (one form with a send email button).. and if anyone can spare a few minutes to get this one working i will be very grateful..
I have a query that runs based on a parameter a user selects on a form.
I want to dynamically create the sendobject file name based on the parameter the user selects.
Example:
My form has a parameter named medicine. When the user checks the checkbox next to medicine it runs a query for records labeled as medicine but sends the e-mail output as the query name. I want something like medicine.txt etcc...
I had in the pass written a program in Access 2000 that would directly output reports to WinFax. It wasn’t the fastest solution but it worked just fine. I no longer have a WinFax Server. So that solution is no longer an option. Is there a way for me to do the same thing with Access 2000 and Exchange Server? The idea would be, to be able to print the 200 or so price list and have them faxed out using Exchange Server. These are not a broadcast fax each price list would be faxed to a different number. I am using SQL SERVER 2000, Access 2000 and Exchange Server 2003. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
When I attempt to create a new DB - by performing Blank Database I immediately get a message 'Object Library not registered'.
If I 'OK' that box and try to create a table, I can do so - create Table in design view.
When I then try to Import external data - an excel file I get the message 'ActiveX component Can't create object'.
I have looked ob various sites for help and forum information regarding these errors but have found nothing conclusive, with specidfic regard to Access 2003.
The version has been loaded on my machine about 1 year as part pf Office Professional but this is the first time I have attempted to run Access itself.
Does any forum member have any ideas as to how this problem could be resolved.
On the form: User enters first name, then last name. Upon updating the last name field, I would like another form to pop-up and display all the people with that same first name and last name that the user just entered.
On the pop-up form: All of the matching first names/last names are listed with a button control beside each record that says 'Select'. The user clicks the select button beside the record he/she wants. This pop-up form closes and all of the data from this selected record is now showing on the original form.
So far, I have a query/form that pops up only showing the matching first/last names. I'm having a hard time getting my original form to auto-populate with that record that the user selects on the pop-up.
(Also my main form is actually a sub-sub form - so in my trials I could've been massacring my syntax trying to point to it.)
I am currently building a database for the company I work for that is fairly similar to the Northwind Database; however it is made from scratch so hopefully some of the common problems with that database won't find their way into mine.My problem is that when I go to my Orders form, I pick a customer from the main form, which creates a record on the Orders table. When I then go to the subform to choose a product/line item, I get the error in my title ("The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error: 'The object doesn't contain the Automation object 'OrdersT.") as soon as a product is chosen from the drop down list.
I have faxing setup through the XP wizard, I setup my report in Access to use the Fax as specific printer. So When I select a record, it generates the Fax wizard which then prompts for the senders name Fax # etc. and away it goes.
that is ok but It would be nice if I could use the Fax number from the record I am sending, either current record or all. I guess the main trick is how would I pass the fax number to the Fax Printer interface?
Is it possible? I've read a few articles on Microsoft Fax for workgroups to work with Outlook, Outlook help says to go to Office update and download it but I can't find it there? Also do the newer versions of Outlook/Access have a better means of doing this? I am running office 2000, but I can get 2002 installed if that is the case.
I would like to have a button on a form, against each record that has been entered onto the form and once the button has been clicked on, an e-mail would be automatically be generated with the contents of particular fields and automatically sent to a pre designated e-mail address.
Is this possible, if so and help would be most appreciated.
Please Does Anyone Know A Way To Send A Form , Like Copying Text, To Word Processor Programme Like Word For Example.is There A Programme To Do That? Thanx
I have a form "A" with related subform "b". In that subform i built a macro wich opens a form "B" in a new window, to put a new record.And i need to put automaticly in form "B", values selected in record from subform "b".
I would like to be able to place a button on my invoice form that will allow me to e-mail the individual invoice to the person being billed (the e-mail address is included on the form). I created a macro that works to send a PDF file of all of the records and I am having trouble figuring out how to send just the current record. I would also like to have the e-mail address automatically populated based on the e-mail address on the current record.
I'm trying to develop a form that opens when you select a tab from another form. The first form would contain Standard Instructions (from a table) and the second form would have a Memo Field for special instructions. The user wants to be able to click a check box for each standard special instruction and when they close the first form all the check standard instructions to update the special instructions memo field on the second form. I'm thinking I have to set up a loop to go thru all records when the first form is closed. Any ideas on how this would work best?
I have a split form that can be filtered with a combo box. It filters out all "counties" and then shortens the list for me. Now I have the following code attached to a Send E-mail button:
Code: Dim oOutlook As Object Dim oMail As Object Dim strAddr As String Dim MyDB As DAO.Database Dim rstEMail As DAO.Recordset
[code]....
How do I have the recordset open only the filtered recordset and not the entire table?
I'm getting an error message (informational only):
The object doesn't contain the automation object 'ClientID.'You tried to run a visual basic procedure to set a property or method for an object. However, the component doesn't make the property or method available for Automation operations.
Check the components documentation for information on the properties and methods it makes available for automation operations. This happens when I start entering data in the field "productname" of a subform.
So I'm assuming something in the form or in the code of the form is referring to ClientID. but I've checked it, and there is nothing referring to it anymore. Well, at least as far as I'm aware of.
This afternoon access crashed without any error, it just closed. Upon reopening the DB again, all my work of the past one and a half week was gone. Normally I always backup the data, but these past days I didn't due to christmas and still working a lot too. So I forgot.
I did some redesigning in the process this evening, deleting and adding some fields and code.
I can't get rid of this error. Can anyone help? Or point me in the right direction?
Also the DB is 3.5MB in size. While it is completely empty. And I can't imagine that some empty tables, queries, forms and a bit of code can be so much. But that's for a later time to worry about I guess, unless one of you says: this and that, maybe that works... Otherwise, I would really be very glad already if the error disappears....
I have created a form and housed in the form is a combo box that pulls info from managers I work with. I want to create a command button that I can click to send them an email. I have their information tabled and then have also converted that table into a form. I have their email address I just need to know how to properly code the command. I have no visual basic experience. I have had classes where I've coded in C++ and HTML but very limited.
I am using Access 2010 and I want to be able to open a blank email addressed to the contact I am viewing in my Access form. I have been successful in creating a button which opens Outlook, but I don't know what code to put in the 'To' field of the EmailDatabaseObject page so that it picks up the email address of the contact I am looking at.
