Using MS Access - automated email report sending via a button

Expert: Richard Rost - 11/1/2009

Question
Hi,

I am constructing a database for my friend and have managed to create a button that picks up info from the current form and creates a report which they can print or save.

What i want to do is click a button which exports all the info on the current form, into the body of an email, without the user needing to enter info in (email address, subject etc) and just need to click send to outlook. is this possibel?

thanks for your help.

Answer
Yes, it's possible. You can use the DoCmd.SendObject command.

I cover this in detail in my Access 329 tutorial:
