How to copy/paste text from a form to email

T

TomP

I created a telephone log in MS Access and would like to know if there is a
way I can copy my notes from a form in Access and past it to my email message
automatically? Also, is there a way to have an entry added in my notes to
indicate that an email was sent?

Thank you for your help,

TomP

Yes, here is what I have so far (see below). I would like to do two things.

First: I would like to copy text data from the textbox field in my form to
"Ref: textfromform".

Second: I would like to have MS Access automatically pass additional
information on my form annotating that an email was sent to a recipient with
date and time email sent.

DoCmd.SendObject _
, _
, _
, _
" ", _
, _
, _
"Ref: ", _
" ", _
True

I'm sorry, but I'm slow on this.

1. I want to copy/paste a value in my current form on the subject liine of
my email. The name of the textbox in my form is called Number. Am I
supposed to include that information after the line entry ..... "Ref: ", _
.... which alread shows up in my email?

2. In my current form, I have a textbox called Notes. How do I add a
one-line entry to include date/time email was sent?

so in your sendobject metod instead if "Ref:" write "Ref:" &
forms!MyForm!Number

MyForm - should be a name of your form, if you run this from class behind
form - you can use Me!Number
2. In my current form, I have a textbox called Notes. How do I add a
one-line entry to include date/time email was sent?

run a query with following SQL:
Update mytable set [Notes]=[Notes] & ', ' & Now() Where Number=
forms!MyForm!Number

Thank you for your help! I got the first part done. I'm having problems
with the SQL part. Here is what I wrote. The name of my table is called
Master and the name of my form is called Telephone. After the email is sent,
I want to update the notes field on the form. Here is what I tried. I'm not
clear what goes in the question marks. I just want the notes field in the
form to include that an email was sent.

Thank you!

Dim SQL As String

SQL = Update tblmaster set [notes]=[notes] & ',' & Now() where ???

Thank you so much for your help! It works ... :)

I have one last question on the SQL portion.... I hope....

What do I have to do to have the notes field automatically update the
"notes" field on the form after an email is sent? What I'm doing right now
is I click inside the "notes" field on the form to finish the SQL process.
I am using a command button on this process.

Thank you,

Hello:

I already have the docmd.runsql placed after the DoCmd.SendObject. This is
what I did to have the "notes" field automatically to update. I added
me.notes.setfocus at the end ... which worked! :)

Is there an easy way to add the person's email address to in the SQL
statement below?

SQL = "Update tblmaster set [notes]=[notes] & ',' & Now() where ID=" &
forms!Telephone!ID

I was hoping that the SQL would just copy the email address information typed
by the user rather than using a combo and/or textbox from MS Access. Is that
possible? If so, how can be written?

that
possible? If so, how can be written?

Thank you again for your help!

Hello:

I already have the docmd.runsql placed after the DoCmd.SendObject.
This
is
what I did to have the "notes" field automatically to update. I added
me.notes.setfocus at the end ... which worked! :)

Is there an easy way to add the person's email address to in the SQL
statement below?

SQL = "Update tblmaster set [notes]=[notes] & ',' & Now() where ID=" &
forms!Telephone!ID

docmd.runsql SQL

:

Hi
I think you need to add docmd.runsql just after DoCmd.SendObject

Thank you so much for your help! It works ... :)

I have one last question on the SQL portion.... I hope....

What do I have to do to have the notes field automatically update
the
"notes" field on the form after an email is sent? What I'm doing
right
now
is I click inside the "notes" field on the form to finish the SQL
process.
I am using a command button on this process.

Thank you,

Hi,
if primary key of tblmaster is ID then it will be:

SQL = "Update tblmaster set [notes]=[notes] & ',' & Now() where
ID=" &
forms!Telephone!ID

Thank you for your help! I got the first part done. I'm having
problems
with the SQL part. Here is what I wrote. The name of my table
is
called
Master and the name of my form is called Telephone. After the
email
is
sent,
I want to update the notes field on the form. Here is what I
tried.
I'm
not
clear what goes in the question marks. I just want the notes
field
in
the
form to include that an email was sent.

Thank you!

Dim SQL As String

SQL = Update tblmaster set [notes]=[notes] & ',' & Now() where
???

:

1. I want to copy/paste a value in my current form on the
subject
liine
of
my email. The name of the textbox in my form is called
Number.
Am
I
supposed to include that information after the line entry
.....
"Ref:
", _
... which alread shows up in my email?

so in your sendobject metod instead if "Ref:" write "Ref:" &
forms!MyForm!Number

MyForm - should be a name of your form, if you run this from
class
behind
form - you can use Me!Number

2. In my current form, I have a textbox called Notes. How do
I
add
a
one-line entry to include date/time email was sent?

run a query with following SQL:
Update mytable set [Notes]=[Notes] & ', ' & Now() Where Number=
forms!MyForm!Number

1. just add a reference to your textbox:
"Ref: " & forms!MyForm!textfromform

2. You can run update query to set date/time in appropriate
table
after
docmd.sendobject

Yes, here is what I have so far (see below). I would like
to
do
two
things.

First: I would like to copy text data from the textbox
field
in
my
form
to
"Ref: textfromform".

Second: I would like to have MS Access automatically pass
additional
information on my form annotating that an email was sent to
a
recipient
with
date and time email sent.

DoCmd.SendObject _
, _
, _
, _
" ", _
, _
, _
"Ref: ", _
" ", _
True

:

Hi,
have you tried docmd.SendObject ?

I created a telephone log in MS Access and would like to
know
if
there
is a
way I can copy my notes from a form in Access and past
it
to
my
email
message
automatically? Also, is there a way to have an entry
added
in
my
notes
to
indicate that an email was sent?
