A2003 Sendobject for Netscape and Other Mail Clients

[Tim Marshall]

Subject simply does not work in A2003 for Netscape 7.x.

I googled and posted this before in the Fall. I saw a couple of ideas,
mostly to do with the registry which is an option, albeit a very
difficult one for some of my more illiterate users.

SendObject, at least on my PC, does not work properly with Netscape.

I am familiar with and have used Blat in Win 98 installations where my
app's opening "splash" form checks for the existence of Blat and the
proper smtp address in the registry and if not there runs an install for
the user.

I am reluctant to do this with win XP installations because of my
worries about a user's rights if s/he is not an admin.

Anyone out there able to get sendObject to work in A2003 with Netscape
and other mail clients?

I use Mozilla Thunderbird & I got this to work from debug window (all
one line) using Access 2002 (XP):

docmd.SendObject To:="my email address" ,Subject:="Test",
MessageText:="this is a test of the Thunderbird email",
EditMessage:=False

And it was sent w/o a hitch (though Thunderbird has a "another program
is trying to send an email thru... etc." message, but that check can be
turned off).

Thanks very much - this is terribly assinine of me, but I left out the
important part... when I have editmessage set to true, an email
composition window appears with the text and subject showing, but it
won't populate the to field, ie, no addresses display.

This is why it's failing to send when editmessage is set to false, I
imagine.

There must be something irritating in Netscape somewhere to do this...
