Attachments with email from lotus

wpshop

I am trying to send a report through Lotus Notes. Can I send it in
snp format or does it have to be pdf? I am using the following code but I
don't know how to reference an Access report? Do I have to export it first
and then send the email through the db? I know by EMBED code is wrong. I've
been trying to find a flow that will work but haven't had any luck so far. I
pulled this code through several online sources and am so close to finishing!
any help you can give would be appreciated.

You will need to export the report to a SNP or PDF file first (use
DoCmd.OutputTo to export to a SNP) and *then* add the resulting file as an
attachment to your email.

I don't know how to add attachments using Lotus Notes. Perhaps you should
post that question to a Lotus Notes forum.

Did you read my post in your previous thread cautioning you about the
potential problems of deriving the mailbox name from the user's full name?

I did read your other post. Thank you! I am going to work on that as soon as
I get this attachment going. I am going to try PDF since it wouldn't attach
the .doc document. Do you know if I can attach excel documents? Thanks
again!

You should be able to attach any sort of file. I suggest you ask in a Notes
forum. When you get the answer, you might like to post back here in case
the information benefits any other Access developers.

Actually, I just did a bit of Googling (sorry MS <g>) and found this:
http://www.fabalou.com/VBandVBA/lotusnotesmail.asp

It appears you have to use the CREATERICHTEXTITEM method again to create the
attachment:
Set AttachME = MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM("Attachment")
Set EmbedObj = AttachME.EMBEDOBJECT(1454, "", Attachment, "Attachment")
MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM ("Attachment")

Here, the variable Attachment would be the full path to the file you want to
attach, the one you have presumably just created by exporting your report to
a PDF or SNP.

As was mentioned before, you'll have to export your file
(PDF,SNP,XLS,DOC, etc...) and then send the mail. Here is some code
that has worked pretty well for me.

Hope this helps,
