Sending Outlook email w/ alt sig block

D

Doug Sanders

Hi;

I have inherited a tesk.
Any of three different workers can enter data for a job into Access and it
vreates an email response to go back to the prospect customer.

It works. The problem is that the email then bears the 'From' field as any
of these different workers.

They would like there to be a generic signature block that could be appended
instead of their usual one.

Here is some of the code below:
---------------------------------------------------

Dim CC_email As String
Dim BCC_email As String
Dim Subject_email As String
Dim Body_email As String

Dim lngClientContactID As Long
Dim strClientEmailAddress As String
Dim strAcknowledgementPdfPath As String

On Error GoTo Err_SendAckMessage

If Not IsNull(Forms!frmCase.Form.cboContactID_Client.Column(0)) Then
lngClientContactID =
Forms!frmCase.Form.cboContactID_Client.Column(0)
strClientEmailAddress = Nz(DLookup("emailAddress", "tblContact",
"contactID = " & lngClientContactID), "")
Else
MsgBox "No client contact has been chosen."
End If

strAcknowledgementPdfPath = DLookup("caseFolderLocation",
"tsysReference")

If Right(strAcknowledgementPdfPath, 1) <> "\" Then
strAcknowledgementPdfPath = strAcknowledgementPdfPath & "\" &
strQuoteNbr & "\" & strQuoteNbr & "_Acknowledgement.pdf"
Else
strAcknowledgementPdfPath = strAcknowledgementPdfPath & strQuoteNbr
& "\" & strQuoteNbr & "_Acknowledgement.pdf"
End If

Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("tsysReference")
' Populate Recordset object.

rst.MoveLast
rst.MoveFirst

On Error Resume Next

With rst
CC_email = !AckccEmailAddress
BCC_email = !AckbccEmailAddress
Subject_email = !AckEmailSubject
Body_email = !AckEmailBody
End With

rst.Close
On Error GoTo 0
Set dbs = Nothing

On Error GoTo 0
' Create the Outlook session.
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

' Create the message.
Set objOutlookMsg = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)

With objOutlookMsg
If strClientEmailAddress <> "" Then
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add(strClientEmailAddress)
objOutlookRecip.Type = olTo
End If

' Add the CC recipient(s) to the message.
If CC_email = "" Then GoTo DoBcc
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add(CC_email)
objOutlookRecip.Type = olCC

DoBcc:
If BCC_email = "" Then GoTo DoSubject

' Add the BCC recipient(s) to the message.
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add(BCC_email)
objOutlookRecip.Type = olBCC

DoSubject:
' Set the Subject, Body, and Importance of the message.
.Subject = Subject_email
.Body = Body_email
.Importance = olImportanceHigh 'High importance

' Add attachments to the message.
'Attachments based on EntryType Public variable
js = EntryType

If Not IsMissing(AttachmentPath1) Then
Set objOutlookAttach = .Attachments.Add(AttachmentPath1)
Else
Set objOutlookAttach =
..Attachments.Add(strAcknowledgementPdfPath)
End If

If Not IsMissing(AttachmentPath2) Then
Set objOutlookAttach = .Attachments.Add(AttachmentPath2)
End If

If Not IsMissing(AttachmentPath3) Then
Set objOutlookAttach = .Attachments.Add(AttachmentPath3)
End If


------------------------------------

How can I call for a different email account in Outlook to send this email
rather than the workers default accout.

I know Outlook allows multiple accounts and you can manually select which
one to use as a 'Send From'; I just want to automate this.

Thanks, and if I'm in the wrong group, please point me in the right
direction.
