I found this on Dev Ashish website, and I was wondering if there is a way to
add CC:, BCC:, Subject: and Body: to this to automate Mapi client from Access
97?
It will open the resident MAPI client, but I can't get it to add any other
field than emailaddress from the Access 97.
Dim x
Dim y
x = fHandleFile("mailto:" & Me!eMailAddress, WIN_NORMAL)
y = fHandleFile("subject:" & Me!subject, WIN_NORMAL)
This is code I tried behind the command button, but no luck, please help me, I
really would like to be able to use Access to send emails, that are stored in
my database. I have asked about automating Outlook and Outlook Express, like
the old acSendNoObject did, but since all the security updates, that doesn't
work either. The Microsoft website had a workaround that didn't work either
