Send Object invoking email program

I need to include a mail to a concerned person whenever a button is
clicked in an Access form. So I used the DoCmd.SendObjec t command.
However, it seems like I cannot send a long message text. Is is true?
What is the limitation on the size of the message text field? Of
course, an option is to send my long text as an attachment. This will
not be viable for me since our mail server blocks all attachments. Any
ideas?

Thanks,
Ranganath

Hi
I can't find any explicit limitations in the documentation of
SendObject or MAPI other than that it must be a string, eg 65,535
bytes in Access though maybe only half that in ASCII characters. Why
not try sending yourself some long emails.

SendObject's twenty limitations
1) Limited message length (255 characters, I believe.)
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/email/sendobject.htm

For alternatives see
Microsoft Access Email FAQ
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/email.htm

Your mail server blocks all attachments? That's ridiculous.

There is plenty of VBA code around that allows you send email messages. Does anyone know where I can see a sample of VBA code or a technique that only opens the default email program and then waits for user input? For example, a VBA technique that simulates double-clicking on an email desktop icon or opening something from a program group. I am using Access 97 in a runtime environment. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. TC

Hello, I have a client that just switched to Windows 2003 server.
