Modules & VBA :: Automatically Attach External File To Email Generated By Access Database
Nov 24, 2014
I have an Access 2013 database which will generate a pdf report and attach it to an email using the code:
Code:
DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, "Report Name", acFormatPDF, Nz(To email address, a), , , "Email Subject", "Email body", True
I would also like to automatically attach on the server to this email. Such a file stored such as servernamesharefilename.pdf. Is it possible to do this?

I have a subroutine that works well for sending emails. A need has arisen to, in some cases, send an Access report as a PDF attachment. I know how to do this using the SendObject method, but that won't work in this app. I also don't want to have to first save the report as a pdf file. I think I'm close, but I don't know the syntax for passing the report name as the Source parameter in the Attachments.Add method.
Code:
If strEmailAddress = "jsmith" Then
.Attachments.Add source:=MyReportName, type:=acFormatPDF
End If
On Error GoTo SendErr
.Send
On Error GoTo 0

Is there a way that I can attach a database that I am building/working on, to an email, so that I can send it to myself and work at home or at work. My work computers do not allow media.

I have Access 2013, Win 7, Outlook 2010 (32-bit).I want to send an email from Access, but not through Outlook. Instead I want to connect to an external SMTP server. I've found a few examples that doesn't work for me. With code including for example
Code:
Set ObjMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
I get an "Error 429: Object can't be created in Active X-component" (My translation from Swedish).With code including this:
Code:
Dim oEMail As New CDONTS.EMail
I get "user defined type has not been defined" (my translation again).I have working code for sending email through Outlook, which works fine. But, Outlook adds a lot of span tags, making it impossible to read for certain screen readers used by visually impaired people, therefore I can't use Outlook.
I've tried to read up on the matter (CDO), and think that maybe the CDO library etc is not included on my computer?can I download it?

I would like to create a table containing email templates for use around various applications and interfaces. I would also like the user to be able to create the text for these templates, but as well as the dynamic text. So a user might create a record as such:
Email_Template_ID: 1234
Email_Name: "Payment notification"
Email_Subject: "Project ID: {Project_ID} - Payment made"
Email_Body:
"Dear {Title} {Surname}
We have recently made a payment of {Amount}. Please check your bank account in the next two days. This relates to Project ID: {Project_ID}, {Project Name}.
Best wishes
Payment Team"
So a user, with sufficient knowledge of certain field names, would be able to drop in the dynamic content as they deem appropriate. The VBA would then replace anything in curly brackets with the genuine field name.
I could possibly start with Replace(Email_Body, "{", "' & [") and repeat it for the end curly bracket, but I'm sure VBA would just render this as Dear ' & [Title] & ' etc. without interpreting it as Dear Mr...
I hope I've explained myself OK. To look at it another way, in Excel there is a function called INDIRECT() which allows Excel to interpret a cell reference as the actual content of the cell...

I am currently in the process of creating a form that will allow you to enter details for an email sent, select a number of documents from a list box and then open the mail message pre-written with attachments. The attachments reside in a list box currently, and I am attempting to use a "For Each" with item selected.column(3) as the file path, as column(3) contains the filepath from the table.
Currently my code is:
Private Sub OutlookBut_Click()
Dim olApp As Object
Dim objMail As Object
Dim varItm As Variant
On Error Resume Next
Set olApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
[Code] ....
When this code runs, outlook will open as a process when it is closed, but then freeze and not allow me to see it or access it in anyway. If Outlook is opened Microsoft office usually gets angry at me and decides to throw error messages at me.

Hey, I was wondering how I would tell Access to set bold on my email message. I use this code to generate the email:
Private Sub Email_Click()
strToWhom = [EMAIL]
strMsgBody = "This is my email body, I would like this word bold"
DoCmd.SendObject , , , strToWhom, , , "Subject", strMsgBody, True
End Sub
Thanks for any help provided.

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.

As I am having difficulty keeping my database at work digitally signed due to other users using the database; I was curious if I could create a batch file to automatically run at night to sign the database, so that it can automatically update in the AM, without being prompted questions. Or something of this sort?

I have created an action log database that sends an email when a new action is entered. I would like to launch the database using a hyperlink in the email, but can't seem to get it to work. All users have a copy of the front end on their desktop, so whatever I add to the email needs to launch the front end for any user signed on to their own desktop.
This is what I have and it sends a hyperlink but I click it, I get an error saying it can't find the file. I don't know how to word the path name for any user?
With obMsg
.subject = "New action request for " & team
.To = people
[Code].....

Basically it's trying to take all the files in a given directory and add them into a existing database.
I have a database called Permit. the database has a field called "SEAL" and they will be creating an additional field "SCART" to hold the contents of the file that exist in the directory. Each image file, in directory, is named the same as a unique record in Permit.
example:
Permit-SC might have unique record 532442
An image file would be name 532442.
If the image file matches a record in Permit the image should be added to permit in a field called "SCART". At this point I'm not certain if I want a link or the actual image included in the record. since there's a possibility of including the permit file on the website it might be cleaner to have it included.

I have been tasked with setting up a certificate request database. I have an Access 2032 FE & SQL 2012 BE. I need to store PDF documents from all our branches.
I have been working on this for the past 3 working days and I have seen a great deal about saving the file path to the database vs saving the actual document in the DB. The documents would be located on each users computer.
I have a Form with all the information that is required by the certification department. On the form is a button (Called InsertID(ID in this case is the persons Identity Docuement)) and the button is linked to a table called dbo_CertificationSupportingDocuments. The table is referenced to the Main Certificate Request table.
The dbo_CertificationSupportingDocuments table is structured as follows:
Code:
[CertSupportingDocID] [numeric](18, 0) IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[CertificateRequestNumber] [numeric](18, 0) NOT NULL,
[RequestBlob] [varbinary](max) NULL,
[RequestFileName] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[RequestFileExtension] [nchar](10) NULL,
[RequestFileMimeType] [nvarchar](50) NULL
When I click the button I get a Run Time error 3075 "Syntax error (Missing operator) in query operator.
The code I am using is:
Code:
Dim fd As FileDialog
Dim strFileWPath As String
Dim FileNoExt As String
Dim FileExt As String
Dim StrSQL As String
Dim db As Database
[Code] ....
I have been looking at this code for so long that I cannot see what is wrong.

I have some code which creates a record in an external csv file to provide information to upload a vehicle to the website. It works fine with the exception of creating duplicates when, for example an option to amend a record is given to the user before continuing to a new record. The option has to be in place in case there is an error in the specifics of what is important to be recorded in the database and under such circumstances the form code allows the user to tab through the form and correct any errors, but this creates duplicate entries in the csv file as the user has to pass through the 'SavePrintVehPurch_Exit' button a second time after corrections are made.
I am wondering if there is a way of altering the following code to effectively look look to see if the csv record exists and if so correct any changed field information rather than create a whole new record or create a new record where the record does not exist - The record in the csv file is determined by the 'Me.VP_VehRegMark.Value '.
Private Sub SavePrintVehPurch_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
Dim fileText As String
Dim fileName As String
Dim fileNumber As String
fileNumber = FreeFile
[Code] ....
I am wondering about introducing the something like the following ( but can't work out how to clarify comparison of the fields)
If Len(filename(fileText)) = ? Then
Do not change entry
Else
Overwrite the new detail

Hey guys.This is a real basic question but I am a newbie at this.:confused:I have created a form in Access that is actually an INVOICE for my company and therefore I have fields like [qty1],[rate1] & [amount1] In the form in [amount1] I have used the following expression to get automatically generated values.=[qty1]*[rate1]This gives me the Amount. But problem is that the result that is automatically generated by this mathematical operation is not stored in my database under the field amount1 and the field is therefore blank. I wish to use this resulted value in a report and also want to use it in other forms e.g. my sales register.kindly help me out with this.:)

I need to create a word file (it needs to be word) based on template (not a very complicated template) max 1 to 1 and 1/2 pages long.
the word doc needs to be named from the recordset but for now assume 12345.doc and the next one will be 12346.doc etc (I have a unique number system - available from tables /query .
i can either make the word doc in code or use a template (template would be better) recordset could have 20-30 in it each time i run it - but to be run every week
second half is how to email this out. i had in mind a email system
email to . test@testhotmail.xyz
file attach = this folder where the docs are store and attach 12345
in a loop
so either
create word file - email word file in a loop each time or create all the word files and then send them individual

I am setting up a database to track preventative maintenance required for testing equipment in our repair shop. Some of my associates would like to be able to send e-mail notifications via the database when maintenance is due. I set up a query to show the people who need to receive an e-mail and a query to show the maintenance each person needs to perform.
Each person will need to perform more than one maintenance step each time. I would like to get it so that the database will loop through the first query and generate one e-mail for each person. I would like the e-mail to list all the steps that person would need to do (as shown in the second query). I know this would require setting up loops and I'm afraid I'm not very good at writing loops.
I think this will need two loops. One to loop through the first query to see all the e-mails that will need generated and one to loop through the actions to be included in each e-mail. The person's name is included in both queries and can be used to set up a link between the two.

I've been building a CRM in Access that allows for creating profiles for our accounts. When we add a new account, I'd like an Account ID to automatically generate and look like this: CRMXXXXX where the X's represent a random number. I originally wanted to set the field as autonumber to just count up, but unfortunately I need to append this value to another sales database we have; you can't store the text "CRM" with an autonumber in a table.
Right now, all I've done is place an equation in the default value of a textbox I have on my 'Add Account' form. I then made the control source of the text box the Account ID field. My equation is as follows:
="CRM" & CStr(Int(Rnd(Now())*10000))
This appears to work, as it generates a value in the correct format. However, I've realized that each time I open the CRM, the random numbers start over again and I run into issues of trying to create a new record with the same ID as a previously created record. I assume I need to incorporate some sort of timestamp to it in order to change it.
