Email

[Jeff]

Hello. Is it possible for access to have a function were
once a record is entered I could have a button (or
whatever) to send out an email stating an action has been
taken?

I have a document tracking database where users email
(cc) documents to me and I keep track of who sent what /
where. I want to be able to enter that record in the
database and automatcially shot a "your response has been
processed" e-mail to a certain individual. There email
is one of the required variables on the form and I am
using Outlook for email. Has any every done this before?

Hi Jeff,

I would place some code in the AfterUpdate event of the form. Using Outlook
for mail is not suggested, because in the never versions you always get a
message if you want to send email with another program using outlook. I
would suggest to use CDO, this provides a more comfortable way to create and
send emails. You will find all the necessary stuff you need at
microsoft.com.
