: Back to basics!
: Original problem - persuading Access 97 to send an object (a report in
this
: case) in an email.
: It is supposed to do this by including it as an attachment.
: THis is what Access HELP provides:
: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
: You can use the SendObject action to include the specified Microsoft
Access
: datasheet, form, report, or module in an electronic mail message, where it
: can be viewed and forwarded. You can include objects in Microsoft Excel 97
: (*.xls), MS-DOS text (*.txt), rich-text (*.rtf), or HTML (*.html) format
in
: messages for Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Mail, Microsoft Windows for
: Workgroups mail, or another electronic mail application that uses the
: Microsoft Mail Applications Programming Interface (MAPI).
:
: If you have an electronic mail application that uses the Vendor
Independent
: Mail (VIM) protocol and have installed and set up the dynamic-link library
: (Mapivim.dll) that converts MAPI mail messages to the VIM protocol, you
can
: send Microsoft Access objects to the VIM mail application.
: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
: HOWEVER - there is alos help on the SEND METHOD
: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
: DoCmd.SendObject [objecttype][, objectname][, outputformat][, to][, cc][,
: bcc][, subject][, messagetext][, editmessage][, templatefile]
: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
: With ACCESS 2000 [I have latterly discovered] this works! Opens Outlook
: Express with a new Mail message with the object inserted as an attachment
: and the other details in the arguments set up.
:
: However, Access 97 compalins - "Can't open the mail session - Check your
: mail application to ensure that it's working properly"
:
: I run Access 97 & Access 2000 on the same machine. To acieve this I have 2
: new file types .AC7 for access 97 applications and .Md2k for access 2000
: applications. The standard access extension is .mdb .
:
: What I have tried -
: reinstall access97,
: reinstall OuitLook Express 6,
: invent Md97 as a file type for access 97 (incase the system is using .Md*
to
: recognise access database applications)
: revert to .mdb for access 97 applications
: - all to no avail. 2000 works 97 doesn't
:
: NB the help file info above is from access 97!
