My company uses Lotus Notes as it's email system. I want to send query
results automagicaly. I am using the following statement, but it only opens
in edit mode and I just want the email to go out automatically. Is this
because we Lotus Notes as email?


Private Sub cmdRun_Click()

DoCmd.SendObject acSendQuery, "qryTest1",
acFormatXLS, "(e-mail address removed)", , , "Test Email Access", "Check
this
out: I learned to email out of Access", False

End Sub

Now I have thought about using the sendkeys command after this but I don't
know how to send the alt key and thought it is not the best way anyhow.

Any help is apperciated.

It probabaly is caused byt the fact that you are using Lotus Notes. The
final "False" in your statement is what should tell SendObject to send the
message in the background. Notes might not allow that as a security
feature.
 
Thanks Rick,

I went ahead anyways and used the send keys function to push the email out.
It works, so I suppose it's good. Thanks for your input.

if you just used Access Data Proejcts; then you could send email from
the DATABASE SERVER

it's a lot better; you can include SQL Results in an email; and it's
not a security risk or a PITA on each desktop

SendKeys is rather dangerous in that if somehow some other program takes focus away
from Access that program will receive the keystrokes. Also your code might not work
well for a different version of Lotus Notes.

I'd suggest visiting Microsoft Access Email FAQ - Lotus Notes
