E Mail ,this cant be that hard ? Email from customers form !

[Dave Elliott]

I have a customers form that I wish to use to send email with the email
address filled in for me from the customers form and then open outlook
express, etc....
The field name is E Mail
The control name is E Mail
Is Hyperlink is set to yes
The control in the Customers table is set to hyperlink.
I have tried many syntax so far with no results.
Dont want to open to internet, just outlook express with email address in
the to box.
This is my latest ???

DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, "FormTyp", acFormatHTML, , , ,
,"From Gulf Coast Electric", True, ""


Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,
i have a lot off problems too, by sending a EMail
using "outlook express". I find a solution only for
Outlook. The reason might be the Standard of the EMail-
Client. The documentation talk about a MAPI-Client ...
perhaps outlook express isn't a client like this.

I use
DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, "REMail", acFormatHTML,
MailAdress, , , [MailTitle], [MailText]

That looks like yours, but I send a report. This works
with Outlook but not with Outlook Express.
