at present i have an order form. this form has a id number and supplier field . at the moment a macro runs a report which produces the order. the macro does ask me for the order number. the order number is the id number, what i would like to do is get a macro that looks at the id field and supplier field, fetch the e-mail address from the supplier table and send the order to the e-mail address
Currently my design consists of a table for customers and a table for suppliers. At first it seems logical. Or so I thought!
As my design is evloving I have noticed a problem. What if a supplier calls and says "I want to purchase a..." they then also become a customer!
Obvoius I know but do I leave the design (attached) as is or disolve the supplier table and then just add one field called [CustSupp] and have three options to choose from "Customer", "Supplier" or "Both"
I could then base any other forms like the [FrmCustomers] on a query that looks at the [CustSupp] field and has a Like "Customer" criteria
Whst is the best method. Any advice greatly received.
I have been plodding along slowly building up a small DB and have hit a slight snag (or 2).
I have a Supplier Form (frmSuppliers). I have a frmSupplierContacts. I want to prevent users entering data in the standalone frmSupplierContacts?
Also on frmPurchaseOrders I have a combo ContactID. I want the combo to display Supplier Contact Names for the selected supplier only.
I have put as row source:
SELECT tblSupplierContacts.ContactID, [LastName] & ", " & [FirstName] AS Contact FROM tblSupplierContacts WHERE (((tblSupplierContacts.SupplierID)=Forms!frmPurcha seOrders!SupplierID)) ORDER BY [LastName] & ", " & [FirstName];
This displays a Contact Name, but does not change if you select a different supplier?
Hopefully attached DB will explain all. Thanks for any help in advance. Phil.
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 would like to have a button on a form, against each record that has been entered onto the form and once the button has been clicked on, an e-mail would be automatically be generated with the contents of particular fields and automatically sent to a pre designated e-mail address.
Is this possible, if so and help would be most appreciated.
I have been searching the forums about how to send an email using a mail merge Word document with attachments and have not found a way to accomplish this. There are numerous posts on haw to send email using the SendObject function with attachments but I really need to use a Word mail merge to satisfy the requirements set forth by my superiors.
The database uses a query to pull the list of recipients. The query contains the name, email address and a few other informational items that need to be put in mail merge. I also need to attach a second 5 page Word document. At this point, I don’t care if I have to deal with the Outlook security or not, I only have about 20 a day to send but if there is a way to get around it, that would be cool.
Would it be possible to create a Report that looks the same as the mail merge document and send it to each of the recipients from the query and attach the document to that email?
I am running up against a deadline that is fast approaching and any help would be greatly appreciated.:(
I've got one of my users which has just started getting the "Can't send this e-mail message" error. Found reference to it being trying to send an email without editing (MS article 884998. My editmessage is set to yes so I know it is not this exact problem but just wondering if anyone else had has this type of issue before and could they get around it?
I tried searching but with such common words it wouldn't return any results.
I am trying to send an MS Access 'report' as an attachment to a mail recipient in rtf format without success. Everything seems to work fine except the 'send' button. Click away and nothing happens.... no error messages, no nothing. Any suggestions or tips on how to make this work?
Could you please help me and advise if it's possible to send report from MS Access by mail - having report as a content of an e-mail instead of attachement?
Hi, this is probably a very easy question for you “Access-gods” out there.
I’ve made a database (MS Access 2000) with all my clients. I collect a lot of contact info, including e-mail.
I want to make a function which opens a new mail window (Outlook 2003) and automatically puts in the e-mail from my form (In the send-to field of outlook).
in my form I created an unbound field with a requested combination, now how can I put those in a table field. in other words, how can I send the content of a form's unbound field to a field in the table?
I have a very large AccessDB application that I did not create, but am tasked with maintaining/updating. It has a letter Mail Merge with a field list that is in a .txt file on the server. I have new fields that I need to add to the list to be included in the letter. i cannot figure out how to add them? Not very familiar with Mail Merge.
I have a script that sends a mail using outlook to a different person depending on a value in a field. I want to add values from fields to the subject and body of the mail it creates. This is what I have so far:
Function Mail() On Error GoTo Mail_Err If (Forms![Manage Packages]![Customer] = "MSC") Then DoCmd.SendObject , "", "", "email", "email", "", "[ID] - [Package Name] - Delivered", "Dear," & vbNewLine
[Code] .....
In the subject and body the field ID's I want to add are marked as [ID], [Package name] etc.
I am using an MS Access 2010 table as a data source for a mail merge. I would like to update a field in the table with the date that the letter is printed. Is there a way to do this?
I'm trying to develop a form that opens when you select a tab from another form. The first form would contain Standard Instructions (from a table) and the second form would have a Memo Field for special instructions. The user wants to be able to click a check box for each standard special instruction and when they close the first form all the check standard instructions to update the special instructions memo field on the second form. I'm thinking I have to set up a loop to go thru all records when the first form is closed. Any ideas on how this would work best?

Code: Private Sub cmdEmail2_Click() Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem Dim OutlookAttach As Outlook.Attachment Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
[Code] ....
Some how I need to change this so it checks fields path1 path2 path3 path4 path5 on the current record and see if anything is entered in these textbox's and follow the paths and attach the files to email

I've searched the site and haven't really come up with an answer for this. I have a Report that I want e-mailed to two people every 10 days. If someone could give me a direction to start in, it would be appreciated.
When applicable, I have letters in Word already set up to show the cc: information at the bottom. However, Management needs a statement added to the bottom of the letters that ONLY show the cc:
I am having a slight problem trying to figure out how to make this statement show up only on certain letters.
Does anyone have any thoughts that could help me? I'd appreciate it very much.
I am totally new to Access and this is my first database.
I have a database for volunteers in which table A is basically a calendar and table B a list of volunteers with their details.
What I want to do is construct a report that will allow me to produce a mail merge letter such that:
1. One volunteer, with his/her information, is selected from table B and inserted into a mail merge letter. (The volunteer selected will change from letter to letter).
2 Certain days are selected from table A and added to the mail merge letter. This information will be the same in all letter.
I have posted a separate thread asking how I can make the selection of days in (2) above so you can assume that I know how to make the selection within table B.
How do I proceed?
If anyone knows a good example of this type of report then i will be extremely grateful.
