This is a template under 'sample templates' : "Tasks". it has a button called " Collect data via e-mail". I couldn't test is because when i hit the button it says "microsoft out look could not be started, make sure outlook is installed and properly set up.( the send and receive dialog box in outlook shows is marked and read as complete, but the green bar showing progress is still lit up + calendar contacts,etc. wont sync in mobile device center).
View RepliesI have a database which is populated, but users have to review and amend the data. I was going to ask users to sign in to do this, however my boss wants the data collected via email.
I have looked at using the email wizard, but it produces a rather messy looking email form regardless of if I choose HTML or InfoPath. Is there any way to adapt the email to make it better, or maybe another way of emailing users (through VBA)?
I am using and modifying (very little) the template "Issues and Tasks" to have my team of 35 people submit any feedback that they may have on a particular campaign.
No one has Access except for me....I would like to use the "Data Collect | Create Email" Feature so that whenever they have any issues they can just fill that out (Save the email in a special folder to be used multiple times). The problem I am encountering is that the "Create Email" button is greyed out and I am not sure why....also, I would like to know if this is the most efficient way of doing this.
as above.

In Access 2007 and 2010 there was a "Collect Data" group under "External Data" where I could click "Create E-mail" that would build an email form for an outbound email in Outlook based on a table. I would then send the email out, then collect the data back into the table from Outlook when the recipient of the email responded with a filled out form. I don't see how to do that with Access 2013. I do see the "Email" button, but that's for something else. I see no 'Collect Data' in Access 2013 like the picture below shows from Access 2007.

I am the first to admit I struggle with looping through records.
I am trying to loop through a table and collect external income data and write it to a new table.
My issue may be the way the table is laid out. ???
The attached pictures show the tables. The tblExtInc is where the data are. I am trying to create a table that looks like tblExtIncYr that shows each year and separate entries by item.
How would I loop through tblExtInc and grab ex:$2000 every year for upto 100 years but only get the $1000 for year 6,7,8 only?
My department handles all two-way email communication with our customers. We have 8 different email addresses that we use depending on the customer service issue. I'm looking for a way to continuously collect 3 pieces of data from every email that is received: 1) Date Received, 2) Time Received, and 3) To Field (which of the 8 email addresses it was sent to).
As you can imagine the collection of this data to look for trends to assist with staffing needs, as well as analyze build reports for the company to review. I've been working with my IT department on this but they are not sure where to start. My guess is that I need to have them collect the data as it is coming into the email server, right? I'm good with VB and I've built some VBA scripts recently that collect Outlook information, but these only work if the computer I'm using stays on all the time which is not always practical. We'd like to have this database stored on one of our shared drives which collects this data indefinitely from our email server.
I have a form which has a button to email the data out in a standard email message.

This works well enough, however, FIELDS 11 through to 16 contain the venue address. This is all we ll and good if every field of the venue address is populated. here are times when not all of the fields are populated, for instance, the address might only be 5 lines.I know I can do this using IIf statements on a report, but how can i achieve the same thing for the email.
I have a database that keeps track of employees absences and tardies but after a certain amount of time is the data valid.

Method 'Collect' of object'_Recordset' failed is the error I am getting when I try to set a record field to a form text field that has the system date set to it.
Specifically.
yrst is the recordset
I set a number of recordset fields to values on a form with no problem.
Included on the form is a field "txtNewUpdtDt". The control source is =Date()
The statement that is failing is yrst!SysUpdtDt = Me.txtNewUpdtDt
This had been working until today. I googled the error message and found a lot of hits, but none that specifically addressed my situation.
Anyone have any idea what's going on?
Thanks,

I would like to create a payroll record that collect some information from another table. In other words:
-I have an employee.
-I have a payroll table.
-I would like to get some of the values from the employee table written to the payroll table when a new record is entered.
The form would look some thing like this:
Three boxes:
Employee: [ ] (table query to find name) # of students [ ] #of class minutes [ ] (value list with 3 choices)
When the SAVE button is pressed a record would be written to the payroll table with:
The payroll table would look like this:
payrolid#, employee#, employee, # of students, # of class minutes, rate, date
The employee#, employee and the rate would come from the employee table.The # of students, # of class minutes and date would come from the payroll form.
I love all the email post information that is available, but I haven't been able to find exactly what I am looking for...
Suppose a customer enters a computer workorder request. Then upon completing the form, your boss wants it to automatically send your office an email "your.office@here.com" and the requester's email (which it would get from email field the customer just entered their request into). The boss wants it to also include in the subject line "Workorder #" and then the workorder autonumber that was assigned to that workorder request. The boss also wants certain information inside the body of the email... ProblemType, Description, Remarks & LastName.
This should be sent automatically without the "customer" knowing or having to interact with outlook in anyway (if possible).
Thanks!
If I send an HTML message to an individual and they reply back on Monday, can they still reply again on Tuesday to the same message and again on Wednesday, so on and so forth? Will this be adding multiple records to the table?
Also, please consider the same situtation for an InfoPath email. Thanks.

I have a database where I keep track of student employees. The database has three forms, a new hire form, a supervisor form and a financial aid form. The student fills out a new hire form that requires additional input from the hiring department and from financial aid. Included on the new hire form is the name of the supervisor. I have a table that contains the supervisor name as well as email address. Once the student has filled out the new hire form, I would like to generate an email that sends a report, identifying the new hire, to the supervisor requesting them to fill in the missing information in the database. I want the email to either (1) be generated automatically once the student has completed the form selecting who to email to form the student input or (2) have the student pick the supervisor from a list to send the email to. I have very limited knowledge of programming. Thanks.

code I can modigy to do it?- Currently I use SendObject and send a report in PDF format but it would be much better not to send any attachment and put the information in the message body instead.
I'm trying to put multiple records of data from a subform in a single e-mail, and my Outlook calendar. I have a contracting business, and on my Orders form (which details a single client), I have a sub-form that lists all the items to be done at that client's home (a different record for each work item). When I send an e-mail, or post the appointment to the Outlook calendar, I am trying to list all those records in the body of the e-mail, and/or in the Notes section of the appointment. I created the query to call the records, but have not figured out a way to use it in the code.
