True or False for SNP or PDF format to email

B

Bob Vance

Basically I have PDF format for my emails, but is it possible that on my
form
frmCompanyInfo I can have a true/false check box
[frmCompantInfo.EmailOption]
True = PDF, False SNP
So I would have to change my string to accommodate the option
Below are parts of my strings that "PDF" would have to be changed to I
suppose something like
If frmCompantInfo.EmailOption = 0 "PDF" Else "SNP"

How would I know??? It would be the absolute most amazing thing on the
planet if I knew the names of the forms involved without being present and
not seeing the application!!! I wish I really could read peoples minds and
become clairvoyant. Since I am not, then if I used the wrong name, simply
replace with the actual name of the forms being used (it is really
immaterial here...is it not???).

You obviously have to replace the my sample "air code" with the correct form
name that has the control with the check box.

If the code is running in the "current" form, then you actually can drop the
forms qualifier. In this case the you don't need to include the forms name,
and you just simply include the current forms control name (with that check
box) and use "me" which always refers to the code running in the current
form. Thus, when the code is running in a given form's code module, then you
can drop the forms qualifier and use "me". You can thus use:

if me.NameOfCheckBoxContorlGoesHere = true then

bla bla....

Sorry Albert , your code was correct, just that i couldnt get the true/false
thing to happen , so I used "text" and that worked with your code, thanks

And I changed it to to the current form because I could not get any
relationship with another form " frmCompanyInfo'..regards Bob Vance

Albert is it possible to add a third argument to the other 2
arguments!..Thanks Bob
"SNAPSHOT" is the text for FormatSNP
If Me.tbEmailOption.value = "WORD" Then
strFormat = acFormat


If Me.tbEmailOption.value = "ADOBE" Then
strFormat = acFormatPDF
Else
strFormat = acFormatSNP

Click to expand...

It not clear what you want to do with the 3rd argument?

Perhaps you looking to set a value if all the 3 fail?

You can use:
However, for a "better" code example, you can/should use a case statement.

select case me.tblEmailOption.Value

case "ADOBE"
strFormat = acFormatPDF
case "WORD"
strFormat = acFormatRTF
case "SNAPSHOT"
strFormat = acFormatRTF
case else ' catch all others
strFormat = acFormatSNP
end select

The above would mean that if the email option is not set, then it would
default/use snap. So, you can use a "case else" as a catch all when the
email option is not set.

If you using the other suggested code (and not case select), then simply go:

Dim strFormat As String

strFormat = acFormatSNP
' above sets format to snapshot, and if all fail
' below, then above becoms the default

If Me.tbEmailOption.value = "ADOBE" Then
strFormat = acFormatPDF
end if

If Me.tbEmailOption.value = "WORD" Then
strFormat = acFormatRTF
end if

If Me.tbEmailOption.value = "SNAPSHOT" Then
strFormat = acFormatSNP
End If


So, you have as many ways as doing this as painting a picture. It just not
quite clear what you mean by adding a 3rd parameter??? We could add another
type of export to the above (for example "text") to the above for text, and
simply add:


If Me.tbEmailOption.value = "TEXT" Then
strFormat = acFormatTXT
End If


As mentioned, I think the "case" code is cleaner and easier to read then the
"if then" example, but either approach should work ok.

Do feel free to expand on your question if I misunderstood your question...

Albert I noticed one thing If my email client is not open then access will
only let you send 1 email to outbox then it stalls.. Is that
correct....Regards Bob

If your button that launches the reprot is on the SAME form as where the
data is, then we have to force a disk write (since the form's data has not
beeen writen to disk, but the report is driven from the data in the table).

So, if a "email" button is on this form, then we need to "force" the data to
disk.

The code would be:

if me.dirty = True then
me.Dirty = false
end if

' you code to email goes here....

however, if that email button is else where ( in a differnt form), then have
to force the disk write in that code. Hence you go:

if forms![name of above form].Dirty = true then
forms![name of above form].Dirty = false
end if

You code here:

It not 100% clear where/how your code is being launched to send the email,
but you should not need to close the form and re-open it (set the me.Dirty =
false) to force the disk write. This will ensure the table data is updated.
I not sure why the combo box needs to be re-fresh (the combo is on the same
form? -- it should not matter if the combo box is bound or not in this
case).

And, yes...I usually find that having outlook running before you attempt
this works far better...
