Mail with Outlook Express possible? - Microsoft Access / VBA

Randy Harris

I'm using the CreateObject method to send email from Access.

Set objOutlook = CreateObject("O utlook.Applicat ion")

This, of course, launches Outlook to send the message. Anyone know if there
is a way to do the same sort of thing but have it launch Outlook Express
instead of Outlook?

DoCmd.SendObjec t should work if Outlook Express is set as the default mail client. This
command allows you to programmaticall y add a file attachment, such as a report snapshot or
rich text file.

If you want to avoid Outlook and Outlook Express all together, you can use a product such
as ASPmail or ASPQmail (queued mail). I think this works with Access, although I'm not
positive. Worldcast (http://www.fairlogic.com/worldcast/index.shtml) offers an e-mail
blaster that is free for non-commercial use. FMS offers Total Access E-mailer
(http://www.fmsinc.com/products/Emailer/index.asp) but this is definitely not free.

Randy,

You need to do a Google Groups-advanced-search.
Here you can fill in the Message-ID (without the < and > ) in a search-field
