How do I code a Click event to send an email to a
specified party, with a specified subject, and a specified
message? (Include file attachment ability if convenient.)

How do I code a Click event to send an email to a

Click to expand...

The simplest approach might be to use the SendObject method of the DoCmd object,
the details on which can be found in Access Help.
 
This is the complete Email code. I obtained this from one
of the MVP's(Forgot wich one).
I have seen quite a bit of code for sending email. I have
tried many of them. If you are just sending an Access
report you can use the SendObject command. If attachments
are files of any type try the code below. The one below( I
have it stored as a function in a new module) has been the
most reliable for me with MS Outlook and Access 2000 and
can send up to 5 attachments or none. Also I am able to
pull from an open form email address of the recipient, CC,
BCC, and the subject and text and file name of the
attachment(s).
To reference data on an open form use
=[forms]![formname].[emailaddress]
=[forms]![formname].[subject]
=[forms]![formname].[attachment1]
ect.


Good Luck

Jim
