Generate Email Using field in Access Database

T

Timothy Bates

Is there a way using Access or Outlook (2003) to create a
email based on an address stored in Access. I have a
database with stored email addresses and events
(birthdays, anniversaries) and I would like to send
emails based on those dates.

Using VBA code, with a query which looks at the tickler date based on
todays date. I.e. <= Date(), set a flag in those records as "about
to send emails", loop through the recordset to send the emails, update
the flag as "sent emails", and a sent date. Repeat tomorrow.

Also see the Access Email FAQ at my website.
