Email from Access 2003

Guest

I have been trying to send a reminder message to customers via email from
Access. The code I'm using is written below, but as You can probably see, I'm
a novice - self taught. Have tried the query name & feild name ie;
Qry_FilterReminder.Email & Also [Qry_FilterReminder]. but neither
work. Also as is written, Me.Email, but that cant find the feild. Have both
Outlook & Outlook Express on the system, prefer to use Outlook Express. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Private Sub FilterReminder_Click()
On Error GoTo ProcError

Dim stDocName As String

stDocName = "Qry_FilterReminder"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit

DoCmd.SendObject To:=Nz(Me.Email, ""), Subject:="Septic Tank Filter", _
MessageText:=" Your septic tank filter is
due for it's annual clean. Regards, BigMick . Effluent Services"

ExitProc:
Exit Sub
ProcError:
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description, _
vbCritical, "Error in procedure FilterReminder_Click..."
Resume ExitProc
Exit Sub

Exit_FilterReminder_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_FilterReminder_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_FilterReminder_Click

End Sub

Hi Mick,

Why are you opening a query in code?
Dim stDocName As String

stDocName = "Qry_FilterReminder"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit

I would comment out the above three lines.

Do you have a field in the form's recordset named Email? If not, you should
add it to the form's recordset. The Me part refers to the form, so Me.Email
refers to a field in the form's recordset named Email. It *does not* refer to
a field in the query that you are opening with the first three lines of code.

Also, this part does not look right:
Exit Sub

Exit_FilterReminder_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_FilterReminder_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_FilterReminder_Click

I would eliminate the lines of code shown above, so that your procedure
looks like this:

Private Sub FilterReminder_Click()
On Error GoTo ProcError

DoCmd.SendObject To:=Nz(Me.Email, ""), Subject:="Septic Tank Filter", _
MessageText:=" Your septic tank filter is
due for it's annual clean. Regards, BigMick . Effluent Services"

ExitProc:
Exit Sub
ProcError:
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description, _
vbCritical, "Error in procedure FilterReminder_Click..."
Resume ExitProc
End Sub


And, make sure that Email is a field available to your form.

Are you using Option Explicit as the second line of code at the top of each
module?

Always Use Option Explicit

Does your code compile without any errors (Debug > Compile ProjectName,
while in the VBA editor)?
