Good Morning

Is there any chance on Access or do i have to code on
Visual Basic a command button in order to open Outlook
Express to send an e-mail?

i checked all the buttons in Access but i didn't see anyone.

on Visual Basic how do i code a button that opens the
program Outlook Express in order i can send an e-mail??

Thanks in advance

Best regards
 
Try using a macro with a 'SendObject' command in it and assign the macro to a
button or what ever you like. Should be fairly straighfoward :)

Hi Rico

Thanks for your prompt reply

i never did a macro, so i am trying to see what i can
really do with your opinion of "Send Object".

I will see if there is any kind of help on F1.

Thanks anyway.

Best Regards

'Send Object' is a macro. In the database window, select macro's. Create a
new macro. Click into a bock in the left hand coloumn and from the list
select 'Send Object'. This will open up boxes at the bottom of the window in
which you select email address, what to send and so on.

Yes, open the buttons properties, select the events tab, and in the 'onclick'
event select the name of your macro from the dropdown list.
