"Native" e-mail from access

[Max Moor]

Hi All,

Is there code out there that I can copy that makes a native e-mail
window open for users to send e-mails? What I want is for an outlook (or
whatever) e-mail window to open like it does when you click a hyperlink.

Just to clarify, I've made the SendObject call work for behind the
scenes sending, and am looking at the redemption library to get around the
Outlook security popup. What I want is an actual Outlook window (or a window
from whatever the default e-mail program is on the machine) to open so the
user can create a message from scratch.

I appreciate any pointers folks can give me.

Thanks, Max

You can do that with SendObject:

DoCmd.SendObject To:="(e-mail address removed)", EditMessage:=True

To:="(e-mail address removed)", EditMessage:=True

I reread the SendObject help, and it's right there, plain as day. If it was
a snake...

Anyway, that's exactly what I wanted. An embarassed thanks to you, Dirk.
