Dear All,

I posted my query earlier but was not sucessful in getting the answer,
therefore, putting this as a new query :

How to send an email with pdf attachment via outlook express6.

I am aware that sendobject works but only with access attachments, but my
situation and requirement always is to send email with pdf file attachment
via outlook express 6

Requesting for a solution to complete this.

Note: I am using Windows XP, Outlook Express 6, MS Access 2000

Thanks and best regards

Sir,

I viewed the webpage as mentioned below, downloaded the winzip file, opened
the files, but dont know how to use.

Please explain how to use that in access coding.

Regards

The short answer is, you can't automate Outlook Express using VBA.

Notice I said "the short answer." You can find VB/VBA code here that
extracts and sends email using OE:

http://www.vb-helper.com/howto_send_mapi_mail.html
http://www.vb-helper.com/howto_send_outlook_express_attachment.html

So you *can* create a kludgy workaround (although I'm still at a loss
as to why the OP's solution *requires* OE). But OE doesn't support
automation and doesn't have any objects you can instantiate.
