Sending an email from Access

Pass-the-reality

On my form I have a Command Button. I created a macro within the Command
Button. When you click the Command Button, a Lotus Notes email will open up.
Under the Macro, my Action is Send Object. Under Object Name I have
cmd email: on click. The email opens and the To name, Subject line
(which include ID number from Record) and email body is prepopulated. My
question is, what can I add to my Macro that will send the email on its own.
Right now, you have to hit Send in Lotus Notes. I actually would prefer it
if the user did not see the email at all. I want them to hit the button and
be done with it. Any suggestions.

I don't know anything about the lotus mail object model, but this is
something the outlook model prevents ( although you can disable it under
certain situations ). It's a security measure taken to make it harder for a
virus to use your email to spread itself.

I don't know if this will work, and I can't test it.. but you could try to
send a keypress or mouseclick to lotus mail.
