Hi there

Has anyone used FMS for emailing Access reports/forms?

I need to email parts of a report in the body of the email. It sounds like
FMS will do this. Is this true? Is it easy to use/set-up? Is there
anything better out there?


Can this be done in Access itself-- without the support of another program?

I have a customer who uses an application I created, and uses FMS to handle
his emailing needs.

Yes, it is possible to create an emailing feature/function via MS Access.
Another application uses a semi-automatic emailer (with intervention by
Microsoft security) to automatically notify affected parties to transactions
the application tracks.

Good luck!

How is it done in Access? I need to set it up to email part of a report (
one entry )-- embedded in an email to a group of people.

Thank-you!

I only send to a single individual, so I don't have a lead for you on
emailing "to a group of people".

You might find some suggestions searching on-line.

You might also find some reluctance to offer assistance sending "email to a
group of people" because of the risk of spamming...

Good luck!

It is a little awkward to mail to a group of users. For each email that
access attempts to send, you get a warning message from Outlook telling you
that some program is attempting to send emails on your behalf. So with one
email, it isn't a problem, you just click yes and the email goes. An
alternative is to get click-once which I think is free-ware or share-ware
and that runs behind the scenes and clicks OK for each warning.

If you are working in a company that runs their own exchange server, you may
be able to get them to adjust the security on a particular email account
that only your application uses to send mail.

Access 2007 has some built in features that get around this issue.
Unfortunately, they are only accessible via the GUI. There is no way to
automate emailing in code and utilize the new feature.
