SendObject Message Character Limit
Jul 19, 2012
I have a button to send automatic emails confirming interview times. The action works well, but I've reached the alotted number of characters and I'd like to add more text to the message body. how to extend the text limit?
Code below:
=[First Name] & "," & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & "It was a pleasure speaking with you today. We are confirmed to meet in the Harper Associates office on " & [Date Interviewed @ Harper] & " at " & [Harper Interview Time] & "." & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & Chr(13)

My undertsanding is that text fields are limited to 255 characters. A friend has a databse with some "notes" type fields with data a few sentences long. Is there any way around this limit. If not, what database recommendations can anyone make for someone who needs a questionnaire component in his database?

I have been beating myself up over this for the past few days and have not found a feasible workaround yet, including searching this forum repeatedly.
I have a listbox which is tied to the below query:
SELECT tbl_csraws.priority, tbl_csraws.rawname, tbl_csraws.description, tbl_csraws.sqlcode, IIf(tbl_csraws.enabled=-1,'Enabled','Disabled') AS enabled, tbl_csraws.creator, tbl_csraws.createdate FROM tbl_csraws ORDER BY IIf(tbl_csraws.enabled=-1,'Enabled','Disabled') DESC , tbl_csraws.priority
The listbox only shows the second column to the user, and upon selecting one of the options, fills in text boxes on my form for the remaining information. The description field is a memo field on the table, but when a user selects an option from the list box where the description is greater than 255 characters in length, it cuts the remaining amount off, so if they save the changes without replacing the removed characters, it will cause problems with my database. Has anyone found a workaround for this problem?
Thanks!

Hi,
sorry about the unwieldy title: I appear to have reached a limit while adding fields to a fixed width text table which is imported to Access on a monthly basis using Import Conditions to define the field start points and lengths. Using the Import Conditions wizard, I cannot add any break points beyond the 495th character. Is this a known limit, or has anyone found a way around? I've tried both Access '97 and 2002. Any advice greatly appreciated.
Many thanks, Kevin

How can I limit the length of an unbound control? For instance, I want a text box to only allow up to 3 characters.

I started off with a blank form and added a command button, three labels and a text box. None of these are bound to anything.
The sole purpose of this form is to show the progress of a VB script I've written that retrieves all the table names and the number of records contained in each. This information is also exported to Excel.
Everything works great apart from the log I'm producing inside the text box. This log is just a replica of what is being exported to Excel. Once the log reaches a length of 1,837 characters, it fails to have anything else added to it. The code below is where I have an error returned.
Code:
Me.LogList1.Text = Me.LogList1.Text & vbCrLf & tdf.Name & "|" & intRecCount
The error I receive is "Run-time error '2176': The setting for this property is too long.". From what I've read elsewhere though, an unbound text box is meant to have a character limit of a good few thousand. Around 60,000 from what I remember.
I did try a few other options such as using a label or a listbox but they weren't great. The label doesn't support a scroll bar and if the text goes past the size of the label it doesn't scroll down by default. A list box worked but I want the user to be able to copy the text after in-case the Excel report doesn't work for whatever reason.
I could possibly setup a table with a single field set to 'memo' and bound the text box to that. I don't know if that works though as I don't want to have to create an extra table. This form is to be used across other databases when required and this solution would add an unnecessary table to the list (which I could code out) and also means the table has to be exported to the other database along with the form.
Why my text box is limited to around 1,837 characters?

In my table, I have a field for "notes" and have it set to long text. It works just fine and has all the text visible. When I create a report or a form from this table, it truncates the text in that field. It limits to the 254 characters of old. I am not sure how to fix this. I have tried setting the WillGrow to yes and it still does not work.

Does anybody know if it's possible, using the SendObject command, to change the Name of the attachment it creates? Rather than having the Name of say the report, changing it to tha date/time.
Any help appreciated.

Hello everyone,
The DoCmd.SendObject command was working fine. Now it is giving me
a run-time error '2501' saying "The SendObject action was canceled"
Would anyone know why this is happening??
Thanks
PS:I looked up for this error number but it doesn't say anything related to the SendObject method

Currently running a Sendobject to auto email results of a query. One of the fields on the Table that the query looks at contains large amounts of punctuated(paragraphs etc) text, so format is set to 'Memo' to avoid the character limit.
If i just run the query all the text will appear in the tabulated results view,
however when I use the Sendobject function to run & send as Excel, only the first few words appear in the relevant cell in the spreadsheet, but if I run & send as any other format all the text appears.
Any ideas??

The code below works for the one email address "Quality Assurance"...but I want to add more email values to SendObject command.
If I do this: stEmail = Me.Quality_Assurance_Authorizer.Column(1) And Me.Engineering_Authorizer.Column(1)..... I get a Runtime error '13' Type mismatch. Is there another way of including a series of email values into the SendObject code below? The reason I'm using the value of the column is that sometimes the value may be null if that department doesnt need to be emailed. Thanks for any help.
Private Sub cmdPCAuthSend_Click()
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stEmail As String
stDocName = "rptPCAuthReq"
stEmail = Me.Quality_Assurance_Authorizer.Column(1)
DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, stDocName, "SnapshotFormat(*.snp)", stEmail, , , "PCA Authorization Request", "Please review this product change and authorize when appropriate."
Exit_cmdPCAuthSend_Click:
Exit Sub
End Sub

I am trying to find a way to use the "DoCmd.SendObject acReport" feature WITHOUT using Outlook. Does anybody know of any code or a setting that will enable me to specify another e-mail program, such a Thunderbird?
I should add that I am using Access 2002, SP3, running in Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 2.
Thanks

I am new to MS Access, and I am wondering if there is a way for Access to automatically send an email to a defined address everytime a record is added to a specific table? I have created an escalated issue table and I would need an employees manager to be notified automatically when a new record has been added to it.
Please help
Thanks

I'm using the sendobject method from access and it always puts the body of the email in plain text. Is there a way to specify HTML (besides the obvious of changing the format once it's open)?
Thanks,

Im using the code below to send information by email. BUT:
I want to send the same information to more than one recipient. can i write more than one address in the SendObject?
What can i do if i do not know prior to sending how many addresses i want to include. (this means that once i might have tosend it to 1, then later to 3, etc...)?

I am using a macro and the SendObject method to email a snapshot of a report to 29 different program coodinators(which is working fine). Using the macro i have 29 exact reprorts except for the different criteria in the ProgramID field for each program. I would like to get away from the macro and code the SendObject method and specify the criteria for the ProgramID field for a single report. I will most likely use a SelectCase statement for the 29 different programs. Can anyone tell me how to set the varible criteria on a single report using the SendObject method.

I am sending an email using SendObject, like this:
DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, , , eMailAddress, ccAddress, , Me.Subject, Me.MessageBody, 0
The email is sent correctly. However, in Access 2003 a copy was posted to the Outlook 'Sent' folder. Since we have moved to Outlook 2010, a copy is no longer posted to the 'Sent' folder. We miss having that copy.
Is there an option that I can set to post the email to the user's 'Sent' folder? If not, what about a BCC? How can I get the user's email address?

I use SendObject to send automatic emails from my application. Can I attach a table or an MDB file to the email? How do I do that? Or do I attach a table and it sends it as a text file?

I'm using DoCmd.SendObject to send an e-mail using Windows Live Mail.
Works great UNLESS the recipient name contains a "_" character as in
joe_blow@isp.com. joeblow@isp.com works just fine.
I get RT Error 2293 "Access can't send this e-mail message"
Is this a WLM problem? SendObject problem? VBA? my code?
Are there character restrictions for the e-mail name? If so that is bad because these are valid names for users. What am I doing wrong and how do I correct the syntax so that these e-mail names can be accepted?

Have found some code that originated from this forum, and have modified it to suit my needs. There's one form with all the information, that has multiple buttons and subsequently multiple functions to generate emails, with each button/email to generate a different format and content. The first use of a button works fine, but trying to use the next button right after does nothing. If you exit the form and re-enter, you can then use the next email button, but that's a pain and the users won't like that. Can anyone help? I've pasted a sample of the code that is being used below, it's duplicated and changed slightly for the other buttons. I currently have the button linked to a macro that does other things like saving, and setting dates and then running the function.
Thanks,
Don

I ran into this error message with the SendObject method. I'm getting the email address from the "username" environment variable. Our company generally uses the logon ID as the first part of everyone's email address, but there are some users that get this error: "Unknown message recipient; the message was not sent" Not only that, if two sendobjects are used one after the other, sometimes it sends to the first person and then the second one is set up to send a copy back to the sending user, it doesn't recognize the recipient that's logged on and is actually trying to send the email. That's the one that comes from the environment variable. But I've tried hard-coding the recipient and bypassing the variable altogether and it still generates the same error.

Send an email with an attachment.What do I want to attach?A PDF document that I have already uploaded to access and appended to the record I'm currently viewing.I can't find a way to attach a document I have uploaded to access. I'm not even certain sendobject supports that. I can't find any information on that anywhere.
