General :: Using Access 2010 To Send Bulk Email Each With A Unique PDF Attachment?
Feb 12, 2013
I would like to automate the current process of sending an e-mail with a PDF attachment that is unique to each recipient; it is their test results. I'm sending an e-mail one at a time (which was fine when the number of folks being tested was small, but now I'm up to approximately 200 e-mails and growing each year)
System Environment:
Windows 7 SP1 (64 bit)
Office 2010 Professional
Access environment and Process:
1. A qry object/letter is built based on 4 tables (test results, result averages, a global employee list and location)
2. The Report has both static and dynamic text. Examples include: "Dear" [qry-Letter. F_name] and Address Information
a. =[qry-Letters.F_Name] & " " & [qry-Letters.L_Name]
b. =[qry-Letters.Position]
c. ="Dept " & Right([qry-Letters.Dept],3) & ", " & [qry-Letters.City]
3. The report also includes the employee's results, the session averages (testing is conducted at multiple locations each occurrence is a session) and companywide averages.
4. Report Process: Run the report, entering primary key Emp_ID, report is populated saved (overwritten with the next Emp_ID and printed as a saved PDF.
5. MS Outlook: create a new e-mail, text body is common to all e-mails e.g. "attached are your test results" the PDF is attached and the e-mail sent to the recipient (the e-mail address follows the corporate standard, =Trim([qry-Letters.F_Name] & "." & [qry-Letters.L_Name] & "@abc.com")
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 am able to export data to excel file, I would like to send the excel file created to the customer, is there a sample code I can use to do this in a module.
We are currently using Access 2007 and I've got a database that sends emails out to multiple users depending on the data that was entered. We are about to upgrade to Access 2010 and I am testing it now. I was originally getting runtime error '287' when I was adding addresses to a Recipient object. I got past that by adding the addresses in a string and concatenating. Now I'm getting the error with .Send.
I created a Tracking System and would like to send an automatic reminder to the person the ticket has been assigned to, using the due date and the text message in the field "reminder message". Once the message send, I want the database to recognize and not send it again. I want the database to send a new message if the due date has changed.
I have the following code to send a email with outlook, what I need is to automatically collect a attachment named commissions located in C:document and settings/Documents/... Private Sub cmdSendEmail_Click() DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, , , cboEmail.Value, , , "Commission Request", "A new commission request has been submitted." End Sub
I have Access 2007. I have a form where I can attach PDFs, Word documents, etc with an command button. This atachment is then put into a field in a table which has the email address and works fine.
The attachments are there in the field with the paper clip in the field title.I have a command button with an embedded macro that opens OUTLOOK and the email form with the email address and all the other information inserted perfectly. How do I get the OUTLOOK email to grab the assoiated attachment(s) from the record in the table and send them with the email? I can send the email without the attachment just fine.
The attachments cannot be located in a common path. They must be in the field in the associated record and each attachement will be different from one record to the next.
The emails are sent one by one, not as part of a group.
The form name is TASK DETAILS.
The email command buttin is called E-mail
The table is called TASKS
The attachment command buttin is called Attachments
Ive recently developed in Emailing from Microsoft Access. When I was researching email methods from Access a thought occurred to me that there should be an A.P.I. that would do this the easy way.All of them did have a web A.P.I. which was all I needed to translate a web request from the other language examples given.
Code: Dim reportName As String Dim path As String Dim fso As Object Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Dim oFile As Object Dim strAttachments As String Dim strTransPort As String Dim byteData() As Byte
I've a table containing ebay sales information, let's simplify it...
Code: buyer email product quantity price total Receipt Number A Smith a.smith@acme.com gloves 1 $10.00 $10.00 1 P Brown p.brown@jones.com hat 2 $15.00 $30.00 2
After a lot of faffing about (& learning about sub reports), I've now got access producing a sales receipt from the data....it's in the form of a report (the report generated is one long continuous report, with each page in the report relating to a sales receipt number)
What I want to do now is email each page of the the report (like I say, each page is essentially an individual sales receipt) to the associated email address in bulk.
Therefore there may be 20 sales receipts in a long continuous report, how would I break them out one by one to a pdf file & send it to the correct email address which is contained against the sales receipt number in the same table?!!!
I have a requirement to send a email to individual clients via my access database 2003 . I am using the email address of the client in the current open form . I then created a query using the id to filter that particular client, this query then becomes my record set.The content for the email is held in a .txt file , On my c drive . Every things appears fine however the fonts that I select in the .txt file are not being use in the actual email body. I created a word document with my preferred fonts and copied and pasted them into the .txt file but on sending the email the selected fonts do not appear.
I have attached a demo of what I am trying to do . To test enter your own email in the email address field of the form . Note the .txt file is on the C:/ drive.
I've set up a piece of VBA code to loop through and email various recipients data, in the form of records within the email body. This works fine, but occasionally produces an error whereby the email output body lines are duplicated spuriously. This only seems to happen when running a large number of email loops.
The data source for the email body content is a table, which for each 'loop' is refreshed with new data by 1) deleting records from that table, and then 2) appending data to the table.
The portion of code for the loop & email:
Do 'Build outputbodytext DoCmd.OpenQuery ("EmailQ2") DoCmd.OpenQuery ("EmailQ1") 'set up email Set rec2 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("outputbodytext") strSendTo = rec2("Email")
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'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.
I have a ms access table with two fields...tablename is ..."Addresses"..
Field1:= Employee_mail_id Field2:= Leave_balance
What I need to do is that,I need to send individual mail (in Bulk) two each employee intimating their leave balances. Is it possible to do it in vb .I want it to assign the codes in a button.
Below iss the code.
Dim r As Recordset Dim email As String Set r = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("select * from Addresses") Do While Not r.EOF email = email & r(2) & ";" r.MoveNext Loop r.Close DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, Null, Null, email, Null, Null, "Test subject", "Message body of the test letter", False, Null
I have a query (Access 2007) that contains a field named "email" (which contains email addresses, of course). I want to email everyone in the query and they are all going to receive the same message. My email to them doesn't have to be personalized and I don't need to collect data from the recipients. I don't even need a reply to the email I send.
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 have a button when pressed that it sends an email from lotus notes and inputs relevant text etc, however I seem to be struggling on how to have an attachment sent with the email. So everytime the button is pressed it will attach a word document.
I need to create an email with an Access report attached as a PDF. I am using Access 2007 and Lotus Notes.If I use SendObject with acSendReport and acFormatPDF, it opens an email just fine but the attachment is created with some random letters and numbers and .tmp as the file name.
If I use Adobe Reader to open the attachment it displays correctly as a PDF, but I need the attachment name to be .pdf so it will automatically open with Adobe for the users.Is there a way to accomplish this with Lotus Notes? I have searched this forum and found some options for Outlook users, but not for Lotus Notes.
I am trying to run a script to look for the latest file in the path: "C:UsersmeDesktopReports and grab the latest file and email it to recipient? Right now my script out put the .txt to a the folder but can figure out how to send that file as attachment?
I have a database that pulls images from a shared folder on our network with links. Is it possible to create a button to email the current record on a form and attach the file it references in the link?
The attachment is a pdf signature. I didn't want to include the files in the database for space issues.
I am using Access 2007. We out outlook as our email client.
I found the code below online and added it to a process I already use. It works great for what I need to do right now. The code opens the email with the email address, the file attached, and a message in the body. The only thing that is missing is the subject line, which is the month of the report.
It is a monthly report sent via a text file to another group. The form that I send this from has a table as the Control Source. The month is in that table. I can put it on the form and hide it so that it can be accessed. How to add that below so that the month would show up in the Subject Line of the email?
START OF CODE
Dim objOutl Set objOutl = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set objMailItem = objOutl.CreateItem(olMailItem) 'comment the next line if you do not want to see the outlook window objMailItem.Display
