Access Data Collection using Email - specific record

  • Follow


I would like to use the above metioned feature to update the status of 
projects stored in our DB.  However, I would like to constrain the email form 
sent to one specific record rather than all the records of the table I am 
creating the form from.
There are approximately 4200 records in the table.  
I would like to send this email form for updated information on job status 
for ONE job to a specific email address. 
Is this possible?  Or must it send a form for every record as it appears to 
be doing now?
thank you,
Michael

Try basing the send on a Query selecting one record, rather than on a Table.

Unfortunately, I have already tried that.  I built a select query to produce 
the one record I am looking for and running the Access Data Collection email 
from that query.  But for some reason the email received still shows all 
records in the table even though it was generated from the query.  
I have tested the query and it does filter just the one record.

thanks,
:)Michael

Sorry, I don't have 2007 installed and have no experience with the new email
data collection feature. I'd suggest you repost with 2007 in the subject line
- maybe someone else can help!
