General :: Rich Text In Outlook Email From Access Form
Sep 4, 2013
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 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 can generate an email by clicking on a button on a MS Access Report. In the body of the resulting Outlook email you have formatted text. I have also included an array of values which are displayed in this email but I need to highlight certain items in the array in red based on whether or not another column for that record is checked. Here is an image of the email. Notice that I have circled "ZWO" and that it is red. I need for this to happen programmically.
I am new to access and have been staring at the same Run-time error for 3 days (pathetic I know). I cannot for the life of me figure out why it does not like my Dlookup. Esentially, I want and After Update event in my combo box to populate a Rich text textbox in my form. After reading DLookup is the easiest way to make this happen. Here is my code:
I need to let all our suppliers know we have moved and wanted to do this by email. how I use Access database of suppliers email addresses and use them on Outlook.
I have been sending plain text emails for a while, but now I have a project where the formatting of the text needs to be specific and I need to send as rich text.
I can use the rich text from a table, excel, or word, but I am at a loss on how to get the data to Lotus Notes.
I've setup a selection form that returns a specific list of email addresses in a query.
What I can't work out is how to press a button and have the email addresses populate the To: field in a blank Outlook email - I don't need any bells or whistles.
I have a database that I can use to create a query, grouping companies by city. I then want to send a specific email I have created in outlook to all of the email addresses in the query.I do not need to include names.
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.
We need to move rich text from an Access memo field to a Word text box. So far the best Ive been able to come up with is in the code below. In this code pprs!What is a record set field of a table memo field that is bound to a text box enabled for rich text. The rich text seems to be stored as html as so I can get word to convert it by enclosing it in html tags.
Dim What As Word.Shape Set What = doc.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal , doc.PageSetup.LeftMargin, 225, 534, 0) Dim sPath As String sPath = "G:Temp.html" Open sPath For Output As 1 Print #1, "<HTML>" & pprs!What & " </HTML>" Close #1 What.TextFrame.TextRange.InsertFile (sPath)
My error: Syntax error (Missing operator) in query expression
Followed by <div> and other HTML code. Ending with a "3075".
I get this error after adding highlighted text to my memo fields. No other rich text formatting seems to trigger it. Specifically, the error is triggered when moving from my subform to another subform or the main form.
I want to be able to click on a button on one of my forms and it create a new outlook email.I also want this email to have an attachment that is a report that I already have made.
with the linking tables thing to outlook can it be reversed. ie if i have a table that was linked to outlook outbox would the records form an email just like the emails from my inbox form a record.
i wanting to send emails automatically to many recipients. so i would have to use a record set and i thought that if i build the email in a record then have outlook pick it up then that would be the easiest way.
I have created forms in MS Access.. Now i want to attach Rich Text Format with each of the Text Box or Text Area... How can i do that... I was trying to search for a plugin which would get attached with MS Access and then while creating the forms it would get attached with the Text Box and Text Areas..
Kindly please help me in getting a solution to this problem..
I have a Access training database which tracks employees trainings as well as their annual recertification dates on particular trainings. Is there a way to have an email sent to the employees automatically when their recertification date is 1 month away?
Hi I have written a code that composes a new mail from MS Access. It does what i need. It also gives a question before displaying the mail body : "A program is trying to access e-mail addresses yo have stored in outlook. Do yo want to allow this ?"
If I give yes, it proceeds with composition. If I give No, it gives an error "Application-defined or object defined error". Is there any way I can avoid this error.
I have code to open a new email and populate the BCC field. My problem is the company usually uses a template for all emails they send, from access how to I het outlook to use the the usually template?
I have a VBA code to import mail from Lotus Notes into Access. The database user is able to read his email inside Access, similar to any email program.
Unfortunately, when I use the GetItemValue (lotusscript) method to read the body of the email message, Notes will render the Rich Text information as Plain Text, and I end up with no formatting information (bold letters, underline, text color, etc.)
How to import messages from Notes to Access and keep the text formatting? I am storing the data in a Rich Text Memo field in a table. I have found code to write HTML (MIME) messages, but not to import them into Access.
after spending wweks perfecting a database which centres on the ability to email the contents of what you have just entered i find that our stirling IT dept haven't actually setup any of my intended users with outlook profiles and do not intend to. Therefore whenever they try and send an email they get the dialog box you get when trying to connect to the internet for the first time. Which is obviously a problem.
Is there any way around this or is there any alterntive i can use? my IT dept dont promise to setup any outlook profiles soon and im hoping there may be something else i can do before the project gets binned.
I am trying to modify the following code to send an automated e-mail using Microsoft Outlook instead of Lotus Notes. We recently switched e-mail clients and now the older code does not work. I have tried to comment in all areas to indicate where the new Outlook code has been inserted.
Private Sub SendEmail(ByVal Subject As String, ByVal Body As String) 'The bulk of this code for Lotus Notes comes from this website: Dim copy(100) As Variant Dim strSQL As String Dim rsTemp As Recordset Dim Maildb As Object 'The mail database Dim UserName As String 'The current users notes name
I'm about to connect my DB to word. So I made a form where the user has to choose what entry to export. The data is inserted in a word file in different bookmarks. But there is one special task to insert the rich text so in this case the html formatted text is displayed like this:
I found a code that will go trough an emailbox and export all emails to a table in access. This part is working OK (except the received date). I also wante to show in the table if the email contains an attachment, but that part is not working at all. The project actually is meant to store the emails on a shared drive and attachments and have the emails in Access so I can see them all and recall the one needed.
Code: Private Sub Command14_Click() Dim TempRst As DAO.Recordset Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
I have code that automatically send emails out from an Access Customer Contacts Database. I am using Access and Outlook 2007 but the code needs to work with later versions of Access and Outlook.
I have very poor knowledge of coding and usually manage to cobble something together from looking at other code on the net but don't understand most of it.
I have the following code which works perfectly except I want to be able to embed an image in the email body (not have the image as an attachment but actually show it in the body of the email).
Most of the code I have found around this topic is too complex for me to understand and utilise within the context of the code I have.
Ideally I want to take the image from an attachment field in a table returned by the "tblMailingList_Query".
Code: Private Sub Command10_Click() Dim MyDB As Database Dim MyRS As Recordset Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application Dim objOutlookMsg As Outlook.MailItem
