Email address reference in SendObject

[standridgekelly]

Hi, I am trying to set up a macro to open a report (which has a
selection criteria to select one invoice), and then use SendObject to
create a PDF to the customer to whom the invoice belongs. Of course,
their email address is stored in a field in my customers table. Can I
reference this field in the macro for the email TO: field?

Thanks,
Kelly Standridge

I don't think that you can send a PDF with SendObject. I'm not sure because
this particular machine doesn't have Office 2007 on it to check that
version. I do know that it is impossible with earlier versions. You can,
however, send a Snapshot with SendObject.

You can use a control reference in either a macro or VBA. Use:

Forms!YourFormName!YourTextboxName

If you need to send a PDF, you can do it with Outlook. Here's the code:

You can send a PDF using SendObject in Access07. It is one of the
selections in the "Output Format" argument. The problem I am having
is that my control reference isn't working. When I run the macro, it
is literally putting Forms!Customers!Email as the To: address in the
outgoing email. Appreciate any help anyone can offer.
Thanks,

Show us the code you're using.

That shouldn't be happening. Post the exact code you are using. Try also
using variables like:

Dim strTo As String
strTo = Me.Email
strSubJect = Me.Subject
strMsg = Me.Message

DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, "rptReportName, acFormatPDF, strTo, , ,
strSubject, strMsg, False
