VBA - Access

Hi there,

How do I send an email through VBA in Access please?

Also rather than doing multiple Dlookup's (which slows Access down) is there anything else in VBA I can do?

Thanks,
Grace

RE: VBA - Access

Hi Grace,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

Here is some code for the outlook email that should help you. You will need to go to tools and references and tick the checkbox for the Outlook library.

Dim olApp As Object
Dim objMail As Object

On Error Resume Next 'Keep going if there is an error


Set olApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application") 'See if Outlook is open


If Err Then 'Outlook is not open
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") 'Create a new instance of Outlook
End If

'Create e-mail item
Set objMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

With objMail

'Set body format to HTML
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
.To = "Your Mail"
.Subject = "Subject"
.HTMLBody = "Text"
.send

End With

MsgBox "Operation completed successfully"


I hope this helps. The other question needs some more looking into.

Regards

Simon
