How Do I Link Email Text To An Access Database?
Feb 3, 2006
I'm creating a contacts database in Access. My emails are saved on Novel's GroupWise (web-based, not a client application). My database is on my hard drive and contains the usual: name, address, preferences, etc.
Is there some way to link the actual text of a customer's email to the entry in my database that deals with that customer (for example, field 1= name, field 2= phone number, field 3= actual text of email)? If the web source is a problem, would there be a way to do it if I imported the emails to Outlook or Outlook express?

I have a system automated that, when our warranty team receives a warranty part that somebody else has requested information for, will email that person letting them know it has been received.
I want to include a hyperlink in the email that points to the database, opens it with 2 argument containing 2 variables in which one of the forms can auto populate and the information be shown immediately.
So first, I would like to know how to create a hyperlink within the code that sends the email. Second, I would like to know how have the database check for arguments upon opening. I can do the rest.
For instance, John Smith requested part number 123456 on claim number 55555, serial number 7777777. The database is located at "S:SharedWarranty ReturnsWarranty Returns.accdb". Therefore, the hyperlink would aim at the location and carry the arguments 55555 and 7777777.
Current emailing code (obviously variables are passed into the function):
Code:
Function sendemail(msg As String, subj As String, recipients As String, ccrecipients As String, xclaim As Integer, claims() As Variant, serials() As Variant)Dim rsnote As Recordset
Set cdomsg = CreateObject("CDO.message")
If recipients <> "" Then
With cdomsg.Configuration.Fields
[code]....

I've got a bit of a problem with linking a text box to a ComboBox. I have an employee name in a field [EmployeeName] that sits in the Header of a Form. (This is so I can show multiple records for that employee without having their name repeated at each one). I also have the name of contact [ContactName] that sits in the Detail area of the form.Both names come from their own tables that have all their contact numbers and e-mail addresses in columns I have linked the name to text boxes [ContactPhone] & [EmployeePhone] with their relevant phone numbers in within the Detail area of the form.
The ContactPhone that has the ContactName within the Details part of the form works well with no problems by putting =[ContactName].Column(1) in the Control Source
However when I put =[EmployeeName].Column(1) in the relevant Control Source (and / or EmployeeEMail in a second text box), once I have saved the form in Design view and returned to Form view, Access crashes and shuts down!If I remove the wording from the control source Access doesn't crash.

Can anyone suggest a good program that will handle scheduled emails to people in our Access database? I need to send an email automatically to each of our employees on their birthday. I need the program for much more than that but that is what I am working on at this time.
Thank you!

I’ve recently added form functionality on my website, which runs with the aid of a perl script and sends the results via an email message.
I’m currently able to import, or link, data from a specific mail folder (Outlook 2002) to an MS Access database (Access 2002). However, my problem is the message body, which contains the data I’m interested in, is all placed in the one field.
I would like the data contained in the message body to be imported into separate fields but I have not been able to figure out how this is done.
I can arrange the data within the email message body to conform to a particular format if needed, even HTML, but I can't work out how to import the data into separate fields.
Tried searching this forum but couldn’t find the answers. Perhaps there is a better way of processing online forms, one which I’m not aware of.
My web service does support mySQL and also has ODBC dirvers for Access but this to me seems like an over kill approach particularly since I don't need access to data from the website (active pages)
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I would like to know if there is a way to update information in my Access database via e-mail.
I tried to do this, but when I collect from the e-mail, it creates a new entry in the database.

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 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 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'm trying to create a file, save it, create an email with a link to the file in it, and send the email. But the link in the email doesn't work if there are any underscores ("_") in the file name or file path.
The folder that I need to save the file in and link to in the email has underscores ("_") in its name. I cannot rename the folder.
The attached database, when you click on the button, will create an Excel spreadsheet with "RED", "BLUE", and "GREEN" on it, save the spreadsheet in the path you enter with the name 'Test_File' with date and time appended, create an email with a link in it to the spreadsheet, and send the email. You must enter your email or an email address that you can use for testing in the form and enter what you want for the file path. Enter the file path with a slash at the end. Do not enter a file name. Then click on the button and wait a minute or 2 for the email.
When you receive the email, click on the link. It does not work.
If you change 3 statements in the code for frmMain, it will work:
Code:
strNow = Replace(strNow, "/", "_") '<------ Change _ to - and it works
strNow = Replace(strNow, ":", "_") '<------ Change _ to - and it works
filename = "Test_File_" '<------ Change both _ 's to - and it works
Change as indicated.
So how can I get it to work with the underscores? I could actually do away with underscores in the file name but the folder that I need to hit has underscores in its name.

I'm trying to figure out how to link a text file to my database with VBA. I know how to do this for other types of data sources, using the DoCmd.TransferDatabase acLink command, but need guidance using this with TXT files.

I have a small problem with the following command:
Code:
sTabNam = "TmpTab"
sFilNam = "C:Data.Txt"
DoCmd.TransferText TransferType:=acLinkDelim, TableName:=sTmpTab, FileName:=sFilNam, HasFieldNames:=True
The file C:Data.Txt contains 5 columns, separated by a semicolon with the first line containing the names of the columns. The concern is that when the linked table is created, I get a single column with all fields concatenated value. the following style :
Col1;Col2;Col3; : Column name
Val1;Val2;Val3; : Row value
What does do to have columns separated with the corresponding values?

I have a table where there is information stored about certain workorders.. like location, description, etc.
The thing is that location is descripted as "03-LZ-.." where the 03 part stands for the departement. I have another table with all the numbers and departements and now I'm looking for a way to link the two. So I have to find a way to look at the first to digits of the "location" in my workorder table and link that number with the table where numbers and departements are stored.

I have a database that I plan to use to help us manage an old "Remedy" system....
There is a field for "Ticket number"
I want to be able to click a button and have this ticket open in Remedy.
Remedy DOES have a link system. When I creat a link it creates a file like this:
Ticketnumber.ARTask
The contents of the file are simple:
[Shortcut]
Name = NTRS-Trouble
Type = 0
Server = samson
Join = 0
Ticket = NTRS422904
The name of the file seems to be irrelevent.
How can I programatically get the button to re-write the ticketnumber into that file, in that spot (after the letters "NTRS") and then have it open the link? I figure I can keep 1 file in the working directory and just re-write that same file over and over again... I just don't know enough about VB or macros to figure it out.

I have an access 2010 database that looks after all the engine data for a fleet of engines. Each engine has a unique serial number and that serial number is displayed in a test box on a form using a search function.
Each engine serial number has a corresponding excel worksheet where the engine data is displayed as a graph.
Is there anyway that I can have a control button on the form that will allow me to display the excel spreadsheet corresponding to the engine serial number displayed in the text box?
