Email (Lotus Notes) Issues

[owuraku]

When I use the sendobject to send emails from an Access DB to an email address, it automatically opens an email memo pad (I use Lotus Notes) requiring me to hit the "Send" button. I had hoped that Access would automatically send out the emails without requiring me to hit the "Send" each time I request it to send an email. Is there a way around this??

And how can I automate the sending of this email every 60 days?

Ok I figured out how to solve this. But I am having another dilemma: how can I attach the results of a query, "qryAccessDate" , to this email so that it shows up in the body of the email in HTML format. For instance with sendobjects this was how I accomplished the task:

DoCmd.SendObject acQuery, "qryPasswordsAboutToExpire", "HTML(*.html)", "[e-mail]", "", "", _
                          "Users With Passwords About to Expire", "The Passwords of the following " & _
                          "Users will expire within 5 days!", True, ""
 

But my question is how is this done in Lotus Notes without using sendobject?

Here's code for a basic lotus notes email from an Access DB:

Public Sub SendNotesMail(Subject As String, Attachment As String, Recipient As String, BodyText As String, SaveIt As Boolean)
'This public sub will send a mail and attachment if neccessary to the recipient including the body text.
'Requires that notes client is installed on the system.
 
'Set up the objects required for Automation into lotus notes
Dim Maildb As Object 'The mail database
Dim UserName As String 'The current users notes name
Dim MailDbName As String 'THe current users notes mail database name
Dim MailDoc As Object 'The mail document itself
Dim AttachME As Object 'The attachment richtextfile object
Dim Session As Object 'The notes session
Dim EmbedObj As Object 'The embedded object (Attachment)
 
'Start a session to notes
Set Session = CreateObject("Notes.NotesSession")
 
'Get the sessions username and then calculate the mail file name.
'You may or may not need this as for MailDBname with some systems you can pass an empty string
UserName = Session.UserName
MailDbName = Left$(UserName, 1) & Right$(UserName, (Len(UserName) - InStr(1, UserName, " "))) & ".nsf"
 
'Open the mail database in notes
Set Maildb = Session.GETDATABASE("", MailDbName)
If Maildb.ISOPEN = True Then
'Already open for mail
Else
Maildb.OPENMAIL
End If
 
'Set up the new mail document
Set MailDoc = Maildb.CREATEDOCUMENT
MailDoc.Form = "Memo"
MailDoc.sendto = Recipient
MailDoc.Subject = Subject
MailDoc.Body = BodyText
MailDoc.SAVEMESSAGEONSEND = SaveIt
 
'Set up the embedded object and attachment and attach it
If Attachment <> "" Then
Set AttachME = MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM("Attachment")
Set EmbedObj = AttachME.EMBEDOBJECT(1454, "", Attachment, "Attachment")
MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM ("Attachment")
End If
 
'Send the document
MailDoc.Send 0, Recipient
 
'Clean Up
Set Maildb = Nothing
Set MailDoc = Nothing
Set AttachME = Nothing
Set Session = Nothing
Set EmbedObj = Nothing
End Sub
 

* Could someone also show me how to automate the sending of emails using the above code? I wish to send out emails every 60 days.
