Automating 'From'
Hi all
From MS Access 2003, I have a routine in code that automates an email. I've
tried posting in the outlook forums but no reply yet so I thought I'd try
here too...
I can autofill the To, cc, subject, body field etc but now I need to also
send
from a different user using the 'From' field. I tried adding this in the
same way to my code using:
.From
but it seems this is not a supported method? I receive an Access error 438:
Object does not support this property of method.
Please can any one tell me if this is possible and if so how to do it? If I
don't automate this, and the user has to enter the from email address
manually, it is very easy
for them to miss this and just hit send. This would result in it being
addressed as themselves, it is crucial that this does not happen as we are
sending the emails on behalf of a different company.
Thanks for your help...
Code snippets:
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim objEmail As Outlook.MailItem
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.application")
Set objEmail = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objEmail
.From = "Me@test.com"
.To = "ME-" & dist
.CC = "Me@test.com"
.BCC = "fred;john;jane"
.Subject = "Monthly Reports"
.Body = "Test email please ignore... "

Can you possibly use CDONTS instead? Take a look at the simple example Tony
Toews has at http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/email/outlook.htm

Thanks for the reply Doug, I will look at this now - not heard of it before.
As long as it has the same capability (plus the From option) it might work
for me. I need to be able to view the message first to check and edit, if
required, before sending. We use MS Exchange and Office 2003 currently and
this code was the only method I was aware of for sending emails. Thanks...

From what I've read so far it doesn't look as though viewing the message is
possible with CDONTS (or CDOSYS for Windows 2003 which we have). I send 3
attachments which are created via PDF from 3 Access reports and added via
code to the email, the email is also addressed to several people in the two,
cc and bcc fields. The user wants to be able to double-check that all
addresses etc are correct before sending (and currently the email body has
not been decided upon but I know I can put this on an Access form too to
collect). We could log in to a different account to send these messages but
the email address we are using is a public folder and not an actual mailbox
so this may not be possible.
I may have to just ask the user to be very careful and remember to change
the 'From' field manually before sending...

Exporting selected data / automation
Hello, Like so many others, I am an Excel newbie. I was a mainframe COBO programmer in another life, but that was a few years back :rolleyes: My manager would like me to write an app that will take data from a existing Excel spreadsheet (generated by our system), select only handful of columns, write out a new spreadsheet with the selected data and then the new spreadsheet will be used as input to a new Acces database that I will create. 1) How do I select which columns I want to export? I tried highlightin the columns and then doing a "Save As..." but that just gave me an ex...
Compiling automated report from stocklist
Hi all, I'd like to make a big list with items, one item per row, multiple properties and one column that states howmany I ordered. On the next tab I'd like an automated report, displaying each line if and only if I ordered something. I somewhat managed to do that with an advanced filter but that's not exactly what I want. It's not updated when I order some other items. How should I approach this? Data > Filter > AutoFilter, and select "non-blanks" in the column giving your order quantity.

We have a database for our recieving department. For each package recieved, a lot number is assigned and typed in.

If I can't figure this out, I will need to add a new field and searches become more complicated. Any suggestions? "Orlan" <Orlan@discussions.microsoft.com> wr...
Next automation question: keeping my app active
When I execute a go-to-slide operation via PowerPoint automation, the PowerPoint presenation pops to the top (desirable) and becomes the active app (undesirable). I've tried all of the tricks I know of to try to get focus back to my app and keep it active, but none of them seem to work because PowerPoint is off *becoming* active; when it finally gets around to activating, it steals focus from me. Short of something grotesque, like a timer polling for deactivation and forcing reactivation, I'm stuck. Any automation gurus have an idea of a better way to handle this? thanks joe...

I need to build a CRM add-in that will automate the conversion of a Lead to a Contact and assign a specific Salesperson as the owner. Any recommendations on the best way to approach this? Thanks!

Automating
Hi, I have 8 Excel Spreadsheets that gather data from an External Data Source. I'd like to somehow schedule these files to open, refresh the data, and then close some stage at night so the data is fresh for when the user gets in. (it takes about 5 minutes to update each workbook). Does anyone have any ideas?
