Trying to send a file attachment via Outlook from Access

Ian · Nov 25, 2003

I am trying to use a macro (as I dont know VBA) to attach
a given file Eg. Times.mdb to be sent to a given email
address. I have tried SendObject and this is sort of what
I want to do but I want to send a file which contains a
table so that it can be directly used by Access at the
receiving end. Any clues would be greatly appreciated.

Ian,

SendObject is used to send objects that are found within the *current*
database (tables, forms, reports, etc.). If you want to send a file, you
would need to use Outlook Automation which does require a bit of code.
Take a look at the information in the attached link; automating Outlook from
within Access is not really all that difficult!
