Sending an email from a form.

27 New Member
Hi folks;
I have a pretty simple problem which is proving tricky to solve... I have a form that displays various contact information about an individual, and one of these items of information is an email address. Below this I've added a button labelled "Email Me!" You'll never guess what it's for...

As the more cunning amongst you may have guessed, I want it to open a user's default mail client with the email address from the box above the button already filled in. In essence I want the button to do:

mailto:forms!fr mContactDetails !EmailAddress

I've tried a couple of different methods. SendObject is looking the most promising but I can't get Access to stop taking forms!frm... literally and sending an email to it. I also tried using the button to run

iexplore.exe + " " + forms!frm......

and that kind of works but it's pretty clunky. Is there an easier way to make a button run mailto:[...] commands?

Thanks!

I know that in order to send an e-mail using Perl there must be a '\' in front of the '@' symbol. For example department\@company.com. And it works. The problem that I am having is that we have many customers whom we need to direct towards their own personal online order form. For some reason when I try to place the '\' in front of the '@' symbol it does not work. For example person@isp.com. In order to send them an e-mail we need to

I have a web form where a client can select which site members to send an email to. This form is populated from the contents of the member table, so the form can have 0-x names listed on it depending on member expiration dates. When the form is submitted, the code loops through the form contents and sends an email to those members that meet the selected criteria. All this worked perfectly when I was sending text emails, but since I

Hello, I am new to coding in vb.net and have run into an issue with some code that I am looking over. This is a webform that is filled out and once it is filled out, it takes the responses from the form and appends it to an email which it then sends out to one specific user (for testing purposes, it's sending to me). My problem is that the code somehow is sending two identical emails to me. I am almost certain that the code looks ok,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
