General :: Email A Form To Address That Is In The Form?
Feb 7, 2013
I have a form that shows first name, last name, email, date appointment, time appointment.
If I just select the regular email option (form attached as pdf) I have to type in the email address manually.
How can I make sure the form is attached as a pdf to my email and the email address that is on the form that I have open is automatically put in the TO: field in my outlook?
Basically I just want to use 2 mouseclicks: button on the form to create an email in outlook and click the send button in outlook.
I am opening a new mail message in outlook using a button in a form.I want to change the "from" email address to a specific inbox (NOT personal email). Even though the email address is switched, after I hit sent and check my sent items - the email is actually sent from my personal email address and not from the inbox email address i wanted it to be sent from. I have access/permission to sent emails from the other inbox.
Is there a way to make sure emails are sent from specific email addresses and not ONLY personal inbox.What I read online is probably because of some "network" connection issues. Is there a way refresh connection between access and outlook? I am not even sure what the problem is.
I have been working on a database which is going to integrate a client database with any emails they send to me. The idea is that I will create a sub form as part of the contact information section which will show any emails that have been sent from that contact. I have a field which has the email address in the contact section and I want to link the contact to the sub form by the 'email address' and the 'from' field in the link outlook folder.
This all works great except that access links to the outlook folder and in the 'from' field, it shows the display name instead of the email address it was sent from. Is there anyway to tell it to extract the email address itself instead of the display name, or is there another way of achieving this same thing?
I have a query that may have 6 - 7 different records for example each record contains a different email address, i need to get the first email then send and email to that address then go to the next record get that email address send an email to that email address until its gone through all the records...
I use this code to send an email, dont know how to loop through records and get the email...
Code: Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem Dim strPath As String Dim strFileName As String Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
I have a form bound to a table which stores contact info for a person. I have two controls that are email_address and website_address. I set them both as hyperlinks. So now when the user clicks on the email_address Outlook opens a new message with an email_address in the To field. (I had to use a function found on this forum to replace the "htttp" with "mailto" on AfterUpdate event in order for this to work properly.) However, now trying to add some other features to my DB I ran into problems listed below. I wonder if I should have rather left that control as Text instead of Hyperlink, and use the DoCmd.SendObject on doubleclick event instead of using the above solution. How people usually store email addresses and enable emailing on click?
The problems I ran into: 1) My main form is in popup mode and therefore right click on the hyperlink does not give an option to edit the hyperlink 2) I copied a function from this forum which gathers a list of emails and sends one message to the emaillist. However, my email list instead of generating as: email1@a.com; email2@b.com it generates as: email1@a.com#mailto:email1@a.com#; email2@b.com#email2@b.com#
I guess I could extract the email using vba (not sure how), but I still don't know how to solve issue number 1. So maybe it is better to siwtch the field to plain text and forget the hyperlinks?
Thanks, Mariusz
PS. What procedure on double click would open a default browser, since I also have to deal with web addresses and thought of turning them into text controls?
I am currently using vb code to send an email in Access on the click of a button. I want the database user to be able to enter the recipient in a text box [ToEmail] which is on form [GroupStockProfiler]. However, I'm unsure how to put this into my code. I currently have the following which doesn't work (unless I put a specific email after 'To'):
I want to automate an email to include the senders email addres with some text in the body of the email.
Code: Private Sub send_mail_Click() Dim olApp As Object Dim objMail As Object On Error Resume Next 'Keep going if there is an error Set olApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application") 'See if Outlook is open
I am close to getting code to send an email from access with the body of the email populated with a Rich Text textbox from my access form. The problem I am having is that the body of the email is converted to plain text in Outlook which is creating problems for me. How to identify what I can do to convert to rich text or HTML in Outlook? I also want to attach a table that is populated by a query in my application, but i haven't got that far yet.
I am currently using SendObj method to send an Outlook email and selected report as an attachment using the current form's data. This is triggered by a button click.
This is working well apart from having to use 'ClickYes' to outwit the Outlook 2012 security system.
However I now need to selectively send an extra pdf file with some of the emails based on a Yes/No field on the form. This is a fixed file on my local C drive.
I think I have to use automation to do that but I can't find a method of specifying the report I currently use in the SendObj method in the .Add.Attachment line.
Do I need to run the report and then save it so that I can specify the path and name in the .Add.attachment line followed by code which will delete the file? or is there a means of combining the code I currently use in SendObj to create the pdf object with automation option?
I have working code for both attachments at present but they send separate emails and I would prefer to combine them if possible.
I have a macro set to email a form to a person once a condition is met. This works fine but I've discovered that Outlook (2010) has to be open BEFORE this macro is invoked.
I wanted to add a step to the macro before the one that makes it email that basically says to open Outlook.
I have tried the RunApplication macro, but I apparently am not getting the path right. I don't understand what the problem is.
I accidentally dragged Outlook to my desktop and therefore created a shortcut from my Start Menu, but now when I go to Microsoft Office in my Start Menu, Microsoft Outlook isn't one of the options. I can't find the path to where it may reside now.
I am using the path to the shortcut on my desktop.
I'm working on a vacation/time off tracker and was hoping to use the collect data feature. I've created a form where a user submits their requested date and number of hours, at which point I'd like the form to be sent to their manager for approval. The manager's email address is stored in a table. Once the manager marks yes or no, I'd like that reflected in the time off requests table, and an email sent to the requester letting them know if it was approved or not. Is this possible? How would I go about it. I'm pretty new to Access, learning on the fly, but I'm pretty good at modifying code to match my situation/working backwards if you have any examples for me to look at.
When I joined this forum last month, I attempted to enter my current email address and I got a message box that my email address had been banned. I tried several times to enter the correct (current) email address and each time was told that email address had been banned.
I attempted to contact 'jon@access-programmers.co.uk' on the 13th and 27th of April with no response.
As it is right now, this forum only recognizes my old email address instead of my real email address as that's the only way I could continue the join process.
Can anyone: 1. tell me why my current email address has been banned 2. help me get my correct information entered?
The code below works for the one email address "Quality Assurance"...but I want to add more email values to SendObject command. If I do this: stEmail = Me.Quality_Assurance_Authorizer.Column(1) And Me.Engineering_Authorizer.Column(1)..... I get a Runtime error '13' Type mismatch. Is there another way of including a series of email values into the SendObject code below? The reason I'm using the value of the column is that sometimes the value may be null if that department doesnt need to be emailed. Thanks for any help.
Private Sub cmdPCAuthSend_Click()
Dim stDocName As String Dim stEmail As String
stDocName = "rptPCAuthReq" stEmail = Me.Quality_Assurance_Authorizer.Column(1) DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, stDocName, "SnapshotFormat(*.snp)", stEmail, , , "PCA Authorization Request", "Please review this product change and authorize when appropriate."
I am using Access 2007. I have a text field that contains multiple e-mail addresses. The field is generated from a excel file that I download from a website the company uses. I would like to create a query or VBA code to change the e-mail address to just the employee name. The problem is the filed can have multiple e-mail address separated by a comma. I have been changing them manually using "Search - Replace", but that is getting tedious as the database is getting used more often.
I've spent about an hour searching this site for email issues but most I found we how to send. I want to take existing data and make an email address. I have a FName field and an LName field. In my email field I want FName.LName@email.com. the @email.com will always be the ending. Also where (on gotfocus) is the best place to put this code so it autopopulates after the FName and LName are entered?
How I can insert the email address from 'Newemail' into my existing customer list 'masterlist' i.e. contact email of ID 1 and 3 :confused: ? I would like to ignore ID 4-5 from the 'Newemail' table. And I would like to keep ID 4 from the 'masterlist' table.
I currently have details of my clients in a table called tblSites, this tble includes a field with an email address. I currently produce a invoice which is automatically saved as a pdf and an email generated with the invoice attached. However, a few clients do not have email addresses (these are sent by post). My code (see below) will successfully produce the email with the attachment, but if the client does NOT have an email address in the tblSites it comes up with the "Invalid use of Null" error. What I want it to do is continue the process of just saving the invoice with a Msgbox stating "This Client does not have an email address etc etc.
'Save Invoice as PDF and annotate Invoice Number, Date and site name
Dim StrFile As String Dim slSQLString As String Dim rsEmailAddress As Recordset Dim slEmailAddress As String StrFile = "C:Redwatch Invoices" & Forms!frminvoice!txtInvoiceNr.Value _ & "-" & Format(Date, "dd-mmm-yy") & "-" & Forms!frminvoice!cboSiteName & ".pdf"
I am using vista and access 2010, what I want is to be able to email a report from access that was created by a form with DoCmd.OpenReport "ReportOrder", acViewReport. I have a button that when i click it it will send the report via email, but the email address has to be a variable so when the report is created i can use the email that is attached to the report data.
