I have modified the following code from another source and get an
error "Automation error- server threw an exception. I have done some
research online but think, make that I know I am way over my head.
Some very specific help would be appreciated.

I have active hyperlinks that I need to maintain which is why I am
emailing a form rather than sending a report using Access 2003. Other
suggegstions to send this data will be considered

I think that:

BodyFormat = olFormatHTML

ought to be:

..BodyFormat = olFormatHTML

Otherwise (at first reading) everything looks ok.

It is, I did a bad job of checking my cut and paste job

Any other thoughts?

Try taking that line out. I don't think you need it. When the .HTMLBody
property is set, (IIRC) Outlook is smart enough to set it for you. Why
including it should throw an exception is beyond me, though.
 
Dave,

You might also want to check with your Exchange administrator. Based on the
content of your HTML, I expect you are working for the military (DOTMLPF) and
I know we are blocked from sending anything other than text (no HTML).

You might also want to consider creating a report, and sending it as HTML
using the SendObject method, rather than automation.

I am working for the military and I tried taking out the line causing
trouble and I can get through the rest of the code in local window and
my email is created with the headers for the table but table is not
populated beyond this. Will check with sending HTML, seems to me we
can not receive HTML formatted emails through NMCI so we might not be
able to send them


Sending a report would be much easier but I have hyperlinks that must
remain and 2003 does not support hyperlinks in reports. Any other
suggestions?
 
Dave,

Actually, when I tried sending the Report as HTML, it worked, since it sent
it as an attachment, rather than as the message formatted as HTML.

Although the Access report may not support hyperlinks (this makes sense
since reports are designed to be printed), when you send it as an HTML
attachment, the hyperlink is retained. When you open the attachments, the
hyperlinks work properly.

HTH
Dale

Dave,

the
content of your HTML, I expect you are working for the military (DOTMLPF)
and
