SendObject process automation

AJ
I have a student registration database, that prints a report to PDF. I am
using the sendObject method to create an E-mail and write THAT student's
registration to a report for him.

I am trying to automate the process, so it will cycle through each of the
students without user intervention. Right now, it will
1. create the report, 2. create the E-mail (with inserted E-mail address and
message), but I have to

1. Save the PDF report to file
2. Attach it to the E-mail
3. Send. it.

So, my question is, from a SendObject E-mail object, how do I automate the
steps:

A. "Save"
B. Replace? "Yes"
C. Find File
D. Insert file (to SendObject mail object).
E. Send E-mail.

Is there a macro language I can reference and use in VBScript or something?
(I figure for step C I will make a variable that will hardcode a location,
and the file name, and tell it to look at THAT location for a file with THAT
name.

But is there a reference for the script wording fo the rest? Thanks in
advance.

I want to send 2 reports using SendObject. Something like this would do nicely... DoCmd SendObject A_REPORT, "rpt1";"rpt2", A_FORMATRTF, MyRecip, , , MySubject, MyBodyText, 0 ....except for the fact that this syntax won't compile. Suggestions?

I'm using Access 97. In the OnClick event of a button I have the code below. I looks at txtEmail and sends an e-mail message without further action from the user (user does not have to click Send as he would if he used DoCmd.SendObject.) However, I want to attach a report in Snapshot format. How would I modify my code to include a report? Thank you, JD

I want to insert DHL and FedEx tracking links with the waybill numbers in the body of emails I am sending using sendobject. I am not sending attachments. DHL and FedEx use long links that truncate in plain text format. How do I send an html formatted body in sendobject? Or does DHL and FedEx have a shorter link? Thanks.

Is there a way to have Access 2002 open a particular email client, when using DoCmd.SendObject? So far, Access simply opens the default email client that is set under Control Panel/Internet Options. I would like to open the email client for Netscape Communicator 4.78, or Netscape 7.1. I'm not very sure, but I think calling these email clients might have something to do with dll files. I am using the following code:
