Have you looked at the Access SendObject command?

Hi Greg,
Have a look at using a hyperlink. I've got a favourite trick: add a label
to a form and give it a meaningful name (lblEmail for example); select the
label, then using the menu Insert, Hyperlink, select Email Address in the
next dialog. If you will always be sending the same email, then just fill
it in. If not, then use the Form_Current event to update the labels'
hyperlink properties with whatever you need through VBA (i.e. if the form's
underlying RecordSource happens to have an email address field, then use
that to update the label's hyperlink to, for instance,
mailto:th****@s omewhere.com). Have a look in the Access/VBA help files for
your options.
What you end up with is a label that looks like a hyperlink (underlined
blue) that will fire up an email when the user clicks on it. Once you've
got this one down, it's so simple to use.

And, to add to the choices available to you for sending emails from an
Access database, there is Automation. Here are a few links:

Greg
Some good ideas already. Here's the caveats:
1. SendObject is buggered in Access 2000. Search the KB.
2. Any and all Outlook/CDO etc. automation will give you the security
prompts in anything past Outlook 2000 SR1. Which renders it pretty bloody
useless most of the time, as far as automation goes.
You have been warned.

Hello,
I am using access 2000 and I am trying to email a csv file. I have
only used the docmd.sendobject command but you can only email objects
that are within the access database ( as far as I can tell anyway). I
need to email a file that is not in my database. Is there another way
I can send an email without using sendobject that would allow me to do
this. Thanks for any help.

Doesn't work when using XP version of both Access and Outlook, even

I know the smtp servers I've tried work. I even added a App_Start

request of the app, but to no avail. Could someone please help me
out? Thanks a lot!

I have two questions regarding emailing from Access.
My first question relates to how many email addresses is too much. I
have a client who wants to email 1500 people at once. Is this possible
or smart? what would be a reasonable number?
My second question is related to emailing customers who have an
anniversary or a Birthday. Is it possible to personalize each email with
a name?
TIA
