email command button using Outlook Web

[Ron S]

Good Morning,

I just have a quick question,

I would like to create an email button for certain reports, the
problem that I am coming across is using Outlook Webmail. I have
already tried changing the default IE settings but Outlook Webmail is
not listed.

Any Ideas?

Hi Ron,

Access's DoCmd.SendObject uses the workstation's default mail client.
The Outlook web interface runs on the server, not the workstation, so
that would seem to be that.

Is there a reason you can't use Outlook or Outlook Express (or another
MAPI-compatible email client)?

John,

The application that I am working on is going to be used where I work,
we just happen to use Outlook Webmail with a secure server...there is
nothing I can do about that part, it goes way above my head.

I think you'll need to discuss this with your network admin people and
get them to give you access to a SMTP server.

Once you've got that you can use the CDO for Windows 2000 Library
(CDOSYS.DLL) (information at http://www.rondebruin.nl/cdo.htm) or
Winsock (http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/email/winsock.htm) - or of
course make sure there's a default email client and use SendObject in
the usual way.
