Modules & VBA :: Emailing From Within Access?
Aug 29, 2014
I am trying to automate the process of sending a query result via email.
I have code that will export a query as an excel document, using DoCmd.SendObject, but it has the name of the query.
DoCmd.SendObject acSendQuery, "Dailyrpt", acFormatXLSX, email.address, , , "Daily Report", "This is today's report", -1, False (email.address would actually be the email address it is being sent to.)
I also have code that will export the query to excel and save it as a file, using DoCmd.OutputTo, where I was able to name it something meaningful to the end user, and include the date.
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "Dailyrpt", acFormatXLSX, "Z:FolderComplete as of " & Format(Date, "yyyymmdd") & ".xlsx"
Dim Foldername As String
Foldername = "Z:FolderComplete as of " & Format(Date, "yyyymmdd") & ".xlsx"
Shell "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice14EXCEL.exe """ & Foldername & "", vbNormalFocus
Is there a way to either send the saved (renamed) file or to include the current date as part of the SendObject command?

i am very new to access, but i can code in excel well.what i really want to do is no how to automatically email a report, query or table. I also would like to be able to export the above three to excel as well. I have worked my way up a little bit but my hair is falling out with how hard this is to achieve. I have come up with the following so far:
Code:
Dim outputFileName As String
Dim oXL As Object
Dim oExcel As Object
Dim sFullPath As String
Dim sPath As String
[code]...
The above code works a bit, but it only allows me to export tables (dont know how to modify it). It also doesnt open the table in excel properly, it opens excel, but the table doesnt open. I have to go to the location and manually open it.

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 have a database with my staff in. If they are car drivers I take not of their Insurance and MOT renewal dates. I have built a query that gives me a reminder date ten days before and 5 days after the renewal. I also have an email function that emails my administrators the dates of these. Is there a way of getting the database to email specifically on those dates. I.e. a reminder 10 days before and a check 5 days after?

I would like to have my macro/vba send an email based on the results of two tables, or if both tables are null, i'd like the email to state that.

I'm trying to figure out why I can email a report as a PDF, but not save it as a PDF using the code below? When I save, I get the dreaded error 2501.
The searching I did for this said to uninstall and reinstall printers (I've done that - seems to have no effect), or took issue with filtering the report with a where clause (but if that was an issue, why does it email a PDF just fine?).I'd just like to be able to save a report as a PDF to a specified location.

I have built a simple database (by no means complete) but I am after adding some further code into it. Basically on the form [FrmMain] I have a button that allows me to send a document to a relevant CSU contact. It finds the file name based on the info in the table TblResident. What I want to do is open the word document before sending and add a password to it using vba.

I have a field within a table called E-Mail. I want to send a newsletter to everyone withing the DB. I have created some code which is as follows:
Private Sub testemailer_Click()
Dim rsEmail As DAO.Recordset
Dim strEmail As String
Set rsEmail = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("QryStoresEmailticked")
While rsEmail.EOF = False
strEmail = rsEmail.Fields("E-mail").Value + ","
DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, , , "jo.bloggs@k-n.com", , _
strEmail, _
"UK KNLogin NewsLetter", , True, ""
rsEmail.MoveNext
Wend
Set rsEmail = Nothing
End Sub
Now this works but it opens an individual email per email address into the BCC part. That a major problem if you have over 1000 contacts to send to. How do i get all my email addresses from my DB into the BCC of an email?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello, I am looking for some help on what appears to me to be a very large problem. Hopefully, to others, it's an easy fix. I have a very large database that has several details, of which one is email address.
My report is structure to group first on the email address, 2nd on the cost center, and third on the exeption. I am emailing the report to each individual email on the report. I can get it this far, what I can't get is for the email to only mail out each part of the report that is strictly for that particular email address.
I know this isn't very clear, but right now the entire report goes to each email address, I only want specific pages to go. The kicker to it all is that if I set specific parameters the first time, then I would have to set them every time, because the report varies in length each time it is pulled.
Please helppppppp! Thank You

I've created an accounts package for my business using access 2003 and I'm just thinking of some time saving features.
We need to email our invoices to our clients.
Normally we print out an invoice, scan it back into the computer, save as a PDF and attach to an email manually one by one.
My package can now print to PDF (saving one step), but what I would like is to be able to print to PDF and attach to a new email (with the email address coming from the customer table) and possibly attach more than one PDF to a single email.
I know you can use
Code:
DoCmd.SendObject acReport, stDocName
to send a report but I would like it as a PDF as my formatiing is lost using that code and we normally send PDFs to our clients.

We are a facility maintenance company that do a variety of jobs for many commercial companies with a several different trade groups we have (electrical, hvac, plumbing, painting, masonry, etc...) Our Trade Group Managers submit estimates and budgets for the jobs they are bidding to. I created a database to store all those jobs so we can track what manager has bid to any certain job, what trades are involved, if it has been accepted-rejected-in progress-and such. As of now the managers turn a written (paper) form into me to submit an estimating inquiry request and I put it in the database and print them out a receipt of all the information they submitted to me along with an Inquiry Number (which is the primary key in the database)-then that is how we keep track of that particular bid-with that unique Inquiry Number assigned to it.
Now we are wanting to be able to have this all electronically. So the managers can submit an inquiry request electronically and get a receipt back electronically-either by email or online or whatever. On the form they fill out there are several different trades that are able to be checked off. After they are finished filling out the form I would like for there to be a button at the bottom to email that form to all the checked off trades. How do I go about doing that?
..any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much!!

Hello,
From the searches of this site Ive got it down and working to send an email with attachment via access. Thanks
The one thing I cant find is how to change the "From". I don't want these emails send via my name but my department. I usually just change the <From> to the department name in Outlook and send.
I cant seem to figure out how to make it work in access.
FYI: I did it via a module
With objMailItem
.To = "emails"
.Subject = "subject"
.Body = "text"
.Attachments.Add "C:file.xls", olByValue, 1, "department report"
.Save
.Send
needless to say .From does not work.

Please help! I wish to set up an access database from which I can email mutiple contacts at once. I would like to send a pretty HTML message and, if possible automatically address each email personally, i.e. Dear John rather than Dear all.
I have experience with access but not sending emails from records stored in a database. My visualbasic is um...basic, but I can understand it if you're kind enough to explain in simple terms! Your advice would be most appreciated - I need ease of use and most importantly the personal touch of addressing each email to the individual.
Thanks! Look forward to a reply!

Hi to all!
I dont know if this is possible but can someone please suggest if this is possible and if so where I could find some info on how to do it or what I should be looking for in this group.
Can I set something up so that I can email from Outlook to all the customers in the query below?
I have an access database which I have creatged a query that pulls results from a table with 100 customers in it.
Lately I have been cutting and pasting information from the database and email every customer individualy.
An example would be as follows.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear JOHN,
Your listing with us contins the following results...
CAT
DOG
MOUSE
Your listing has been viewed 10 times.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The text in capitals are results from three colums in the database.
Colums are called
Name: JOHN
Email:JOHN@THEPETSHOP.COM
Result: CAT, DOG & MOUSE
Search Result: 10
Can I set something up so that I can email from Outlook to all the customers in the query above?
Where can i look to learn how.
Cheers
Mally

In my database, I need to have a button on a form which when pressed (1) pulls the email address from the displayed record on that form, (2) loads an Outlook instance, (3) in that Outlook instance, load a drafted email for editing and sending.
More detailed: My form, frmReferrals, contains the email address of a contact. I need to have a button, cmdEmail, which loads the email address of the displayed record in an Outlook instance. Ideally, I would like the loaded Outlook instance to pull some other information from the form. For example, I would like it to pull the name of the contact and display it.
Something like this:
"Dear " & [FirstName] & " " & [LastName] & ","
Leads to this:
"Dear John Smith,"
There would be a lot more text in the email with other information to input automatically. I would prefer to use as little coding as possible... but I suspect that all of this will have to be done with coding.

My database is stores information about students such as name, student number, programme, email, etc. I have a STUDENT form with this information visible.
I also have a another table and MARKS sub form that contains the details of courses completed by the student and results. I have placed the sub form in the STUDENT form and can see each student's details and a list of their courses.
I want to be able to send this information to the relevant student via email. The student should only receive his information and no one else's.
Can this be done? Do I need to create a report first? Should I be using WORD to produce the emails?

I have a database where I record grades for my students. I would like to create a macro so that every time I record a grade as an "F", the student will receive an email that will contain an attachment of their scores. A lot of the information I want to include in this email is in several different tables. So to make it easier, I have created a query that lists the following:
Students name (SName)
Student's email (SEmail)
ID# of the form I use to record their grades (ID)
ID# of the studen'ts work (WorkID)
Date of their work (CreatedDate)
Date I graded their work (AuditDate)
Grade="F" (Accuracy)
How can I create something that will automate emailing of this information--to the individual student with only their information? I am using Access 2010. If I can't automatically send the emails, I would like to create a button in my audit screen that will send a report containing that student's information to them.

I've been working on a database for the last month or so. It's been a slow process since I've been learning Access and VBA in the process.
But my supervisor wanted a copy of it as a progress check to send to his boss. So I sent an email with a copy of the database as an attachment.
THe email went through, but when my supervisor tried to open said email, a dialogue came up saying that Access couldn't open the file because it was "out of the intranet or on an insecure site" or something along those lines
I was just wondering what this meant and how I would be able to send my boss a copy of the database so that it can be reviewed and such. Would this require splitting it?
Thanks in advance,
Nathan

Sorry to drag this forum back to the nursery school but.....
We have set up a database for recording manufacturing trials. The trial details (such as date, product, nature of trial, person responsible etc) are entered into a form. At present this form is then printed and distributed for authorisation and to inform people of the trial.
It would be much more convenient to be able to email the completed form to interested parties so they could review it in advance.
I have seen references to emailing tables etc from Access but do not know how it is done. Can someone explain it to me please in terms an idiot could understand!
Thanks in advance

I have a combobox named: Champion the control source is EmailChamptionID, based on SQL statement
SELECT tblChampions.EmailChamptionID, tblChampions.Champions, tblChampions.cemailaddress FROM tblChampions;
I want the user to be able to select the persons name from the box, which has an email name associated with it cemailaddress. When a command button is selected the person is supose to get emailed, but I keep getting a compile error "method or data member not found" .cemailaddress
the line is:
Private Sub cmdNotifyChampion_Click()
DoCmd.SendObject , , , Me.EmailChamptionID.cemailaddress, , , "TS16949 Non-Conformance #" & Me.Text19 & "", "hello", False, ""
I've also tried
Docmd.SendObject , , , Me.cemailaddress, etc
I guess I'm refering to the email address incorrecly, how would I write it?

I apologies for this thread, I was desperately attempting to avoid the need to post for help, especially as this is a much discussed subject. However, after three days of reading hundreds of threads and searching the web (not to mention winding the wife up) I am more confused than ever.
So, please bear with me, I have tried but everything I've attempted so far has failed.
My query centres around multiple e-mailing. I have a table from which a query runs. The query is called QryAddressBookEmail. The query will bring back anywhere from ten to thirty plus results, dependant upon the search parameters entered. From the query results I would like to e-mail each record. The email address is contained in the query field Email.
I'll be using Outlook Express for the emailing.
Rather than sending each e-mail separately I would prefer if they went as one, (IE Pete@..... , Joh@.... etc) thus avoiding the 'silent email warning - confirm to send' that appears to accompany each e-mail
For the subject and body of the e-mail, if possible, I would like two fields on the form that are populated by the user. These are named 'Subject' and 'Body'.
Again, if possible, the email is to be sent by clicking a command button.
So.. in theory, the user will select their search parameters which brings them back a list of hits. They then enter their subject line and the body of the e-mail directly onto the form and then hit the command button which will send a single e-mail to all those identified.
Also........ Whilst its not essential, anticipating future developments and other peoples wants, could an option be added for the user to attach a document by providing a path for it via a field on the form?
And..... if possible and time permits. Again, anticipating other peoples questions and problems, could an alternative be provided that e-mails each record seperately.
As you've probably already guessed, my VB is limited but I will give it my best shot.
Thanks in anticipation to anyone that can help. It is appreciated the time it takes to answer SFQ's from people like me.

I have set up a database that holds wedding list details for our shop. The product images are not held in the database itself - I have linked to them using VBA as outlined in the microsoft access help pages.
Now I can print a report absoluely fine, but I can't capture the report to send as an email to wedding guests. A snapshot isn't good enough as I don't want our customers having to download software. I thought maybe I could export the report to Word and then email that as an attachment. However, when I export the report, there are no images in the resulting Word document.
Does anyone have any ideas? I primarily need ease of use for the customers picking up the email at the other end.
Hope someone can help!
