Thanks! This led me on the right path. I have the scheduler set up for 6 am.
I have the code below working if I have one email in the Body File - but how
do get through more than one? When I uncomment where it says to for it to
loop, it does not work. It also messes up on the End Function.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public Function SendEMail()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim MailList As DAO.Recordset
Dim MyOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim MyMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim Subjectline As String
Dim BodyFile As String
Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Dim MyBody As TextStream
Dim MyBodyText As String
Set fso = New FileSystemObject
' First, we need to know the subject.
' We can't very well be sending around blank messages...
Subjectline$ = "ePRAM Suggestions"
' If there's no subject, call it a day.
If Subjectline$ = "" Then
MsgBox "No subject line, no message." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"Quitting...", vbCritical, "E-Mail Merger"
Exit Function
End If
' Now we need to put something in our letter...
BodyFile$ = "I:\CSC\EPRAM\Email.txt"
' If there's nothing to say, call it a day.
If BodyFile$ = "" Then
MsgBox "No body, no message." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"Quitting...", vbCritical, "I Ain't Got No-Body!"
Exit Function
End If
' Check to make sure the file exists...
If fso.FileExists(BodyFile$) = False Then
MsgBox "The body file isn't where you say it is. " & vbNewLine &
vbNewLine & _
"Quitting...", vbCritical, "I Ain't Got No-Body!"
Exit Function
End If
' Since we got a file, we can open it up.
Set MyBody = fso.OpenTextFile(BodyFile, ForReading, False,
TristateUseDefault)
' and read it into a variable.
MyBodyText = MyBody.ReadAll
' and close the file.
MyBody.Close
' Now, we open Outlook for our own device..
Set MyOutlook = New Outlook.Application
' Set up the database and query connections
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set MailList = db.OpenRecordset("MyEmailAddresses")
' now, this is the meat and potatoes.
' this is where we loop through our list of addresses,
' adding them to e-mails and sending them.
'Do Until MailList.EOF
' This creates the e-mail
Set MyMail = MyOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
' This addresses it
MyMail.To = MailList("email")
'This gives it a subject
MyMail.Subject = Subjectline$
'This gives it the body
MyMail.Body = MyBodyText
'If you want to send an attachment
'uncomment the following line
' To briefly describe:
' "c:\myfile.txt" = the file you want to attach
'
' olByVaue = how to pass the file. olByValue attaches it,
olByReference creates a shortcut.
' the shortcut only works if the file is available locally
(via mapped or local drive)
'
' 1 = the position in the outlook message where to attachment
goes. This is ignored by most
' other mailers, so you might want to ignore it too. Using
1 puts the attachment
' first in line.
'
' "My Displayname" = If you don't want the attachment's icon
string to be "c:\myfile.txt" you
' can use this property to change it to something useful,
i.e. "4th Qtr Report"
'This sends it!
'MyMail.Send
'Some people have asked how to see the e-mail
'instead of automaticially sending it.
'Uncomment the next line
'And comment the "MyMail.Send" line above this.
MyMail.Display
'And on to the next one...
'MailList.MoveNext
'Loop
'Cleanup after ourselves
Set MyMail = Nothing
'Uncomment the next line if you want Outlook to shut down when its done.
'Otherwise, it will stay running.
'MyOutlook.Quit
Set MyOutlook = Nothing
MailList.Close
Set MailList = Nothing
db.Close
Set db = Nothing
End Function
I need more work for
