I want to email certain forms in my database to someone's email address. How
can I email forms to a person's email address.
 
Hello Tee,

You will type "email from Access", in the search box at the top of the page.
You will find a bunch of post asked and answered on this topic.

HTH,

You can email a SNP file that basically will be a "picture" of your form.
Access forms cannot exist outside of an MDB file so you cannot Email the
actual form.

You can't email "a form". A Form in Access is just a window. If I were
to take my office window out of its frame and ship it to you, you
wouldn't be able to see the Owyhee Mountains through it!

You can email *the data* that you are viewing on a Form, by extracting
it to some external file (a .snp Snapshot view of a Report, or a
comma-separated text file, or a .rtf Rich Text Format report readable
in Word) and emailing that file.

Thanks for the info. Is it possible for me to take a form from access and
put it into infopath and email it from there?

No, it is not.

A Form HAS NO EXISTANCE outside of Access.

Could you explain what you want the mail recipient to get, and what
you want them to do with it?

Thank You for your response. I have a another question. What are the steps
in linking an access database to infopath?

Having never used Infopath I have no idea.

I'd suggest reposting the question with Infopath in the subject,
either in microsoft.public.access or in an Infopath newsgroup.
