SMS texts from Access

[Guest]

I have seen commercial database packages which can send SMS messages directly
to clients mobile phones via a "SMS gateway". Does anyone know how to do this
in an Access database?

CORRECTION!

for security reasons; if you want to send email from a database, you should
use XP_SENDMAIL in SQL Server

sending email from desktops is a security risk

I reccomend using SQL Server and xp_sendmail

sending email from the desktop is not reccomended for securty (spam) reasons
