E-mailing a report to an address specified on a form

[John S. Ford, MD]

Suppose I create a form that allows data to be entered into some controls
one of which is txtEmailAddress which of course accepts a valid E-mail
address.

I wish to have a command button at the bottom that generates a report using
the entered information.

What kind of VBA code would I need to E-mail that report to the E-mail
address my user entered? In what form would the report have to be converted
to be E-mailable and opened by the addressee?

I'm fairly competent in MS Access coding but don't know anything about
interfacing Access with a mail program (i.e. Outlook Express). Where can I
get this kind of information?

Try reading up on the SendObject Method

using the SendObject function you can specify an existing report, specify
the format you want to email the report in: txt, rtf, snp etc,

you can then specify the mail address (Me.txtboxeithemailaddress) and even
include a subject and message.

Thank you Jeff,

That's sounds like exactly what I'm looking for.
