email stats

[happyhippo]

We send out emails from Access but we would like to be able to evaluate them.
Is there any way of getting tracking stats on them such as how many people
opened them or click throughs?

That's not something Access supports. Depending on which e-mail client
you're using, you might be able to use Automation to set flags to enable
that capability though.

Thanks. What do you mean by use "Automation to set flags to enable that capability"?

I meant to mention that we use Outlook.

Using the following code at my website:

uncomment the following line:

'.ReadReceiptRequested

and if the recipient doesn't have read receipts turn off, you'll get an
email when he opens it.
