Trying to Send Email, Via Outlook, Using VBA

R

ryguy7272

I followed the example at this site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318881

It didn't work after I modified the code slightly; trying to use this code:

Sub SendMessages(Optional AttachmentPath)
Dim MyDB As Database
Dim MyRS As Recordset
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim objOutlookMsg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objOutlookRecip As Outlook.Recipient
Dim objOutlookAttach As Outlook.Attachment
Dim TheAddress As String

Set MyDB = CurrentDb
Set MyRS = MyDB.OpenRecordset("tblMailingList")
MyRS.MoveFirst

' Create the Outlook session.
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

Do Until MyRS.EOF
' Create the e-mail message.
Set objOutlookMsg = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
TheAddress = MyRS![EmailAddress]

With objOutlookMsg
' Add the To recipients to the e-mail message.
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add(TheAddress)
objOutlookRecip.Type = olTo

' Add the Cc recipients to the e-mail message.
If (IsNull(Forms!frmMail!CCAddress)) Then
Else
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add(Forms!frmMail!CCAddress)
objOutlookRecip.Type = olCC
End If

' Set the Subject, the Body, and the Importance of the e-mail message.
.Subject = Forms!frmMail!Subject
.Body = Forms!frmMail!MainText
.Importance = olImportanceHigh 'High importance

'Add the attachment to the e-mail message.
If Not IsMissing(AttachmentPath) Then
Set objOutlookAttach = .Attachments.Add(AttachmentPath)
End If

' Resolve the name of each Recipient.
For Each objOutlookRecip In .Recipients
objOutlookRecip.Resolve
If Not objOutlookRecip.Resolve Then
objOutlookMsg.Display
End If
Next
.Send
End With
MyRS.MoveNext
Loop
Set objOutlookMsg = Nothing
Set objOutlook = Nothing
End Sub

Private Sub SendMessg_Click()
Call SendMessages
End Sub

I get this message:
"Run Time Error '13'"
Type Mismatch

Error occurs on this line:
Set MyRS = MyDB.OpenRecordset("tblMailingList")


References are set to
Outlook 10.0 Object Library
Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library

I have three text files which I wanted to use as attachments. All are
located in this directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\ThinkPad\Desktop\Text Files

I am just trying to find an easy way to send out a few dozen emails, based
on email addresses saved in a table, which I use for work. One thing that I
am doing different is that I am trying to run the code from a Command Button;
no big deal right. I don’t want to go into the DeBug Window and type any
commands. Should be pretty straightforward; just not seeing the answer
here…. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Below, I found a great example of sending multiple emails:
http://www.datastrat.com/DataStrat2.html
‘EmailSenate2K’
This is similar to what I want to do, but it uses a ListBox to display all
(names) recipients of the emails. This is pretty clever; I am just trying to
figure out a way to send multiple emails to people in my office, once per
week, to notify them of updates.

Hummm, never had to do that before, but ok. Now I have these lines in the
module:

Dim myADORecordset As ADODB.Recordset
Dim myDAORecordset As DAO.Recordset


Now, when I run the code I get an error that reads:
'Compile Error: Method or data error not found'

Code fails on this line:
RS.Edit

Foiled for now; hopefully not for long.

Any other suggestions?


Thanks,

Did you actually change the name of the recordset? If so, you need to change
it in the line that fails as well.

If you didn't change the name of the recordset, be aware that there's no
Edit method for ADO recordsets.

Thanks for the tip Doug. Now, It fails on this line:
Set MyRS = MyDB.OpenRecordset("tblMailingList")

The Table is named as 'tblMailingList'. I don't think that is thge problem,
but when I place the mouse over the error-line, I see the balloon message and
this...'MyRS = Nothing'. Very bizarre! How could it be nothing? I am not
an Access expert by any means, but this seems pretty straightforward...just
can't see the problem here...

I'd welcome any more input.

Thanks,

I have references to:
Visual Basic for Applications
Microsoft Access 11.0 Object Library
OLE Automation
Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library
Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library
Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library
....got rid of the reference to ADO

I believe that is everything.
Thanks Doug!! If I can find the solution I will post back.

I am just trying to find an easy way to send out a few dozen emails,
based
on email addresses saved in a table, which I use for work. One
thing
that I
am doing different is that I am trying to run the code from a
Command

no big deal right. I don't want to go into the DeBug Window and
type
any
commands. Should be pretty straightforward; just not seeing the
answer
here.. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Below, I found a great example of sending multiple emails:
http://www.datastrat.com/DataStrat2.html
'EmailSenate2K'
This is similar to what I want to do, but it uses a ListBox to
display
all
(names) recipients of the emails. This is pretty clever; I am just
trying to
figure out a way to send multiple emails to people in my office,
once
per
week, to notify them of updates.

Thanks Doug! That was exactly it! Please respond to one more question, if
it is not too much trouble. How do I attach several files, all in the same
folder, ot these emails that I am sending out? I tried to add another
TextBox to my frmMail. I named it 'AttachmentPath' and mapped it to a file
that I have on my Desktop. When the macro fires, the email goes, but no
attachment is sent.

I would suspect that this line of code controls the attachments:
Set objOutlookAttach = .Attachments.Add(AttachmentPath)

That's why I named the TextBox 'AttachmentPath'.

Anyway, that wouldn't even send one file, and I wanted to be able to send
multiple files. I tried code like the following:
'Add the attachment to the e-mail message.
If Not IsMissing(AttachmentPath) Then
Set objOutlookAttach = .Attachments.Add(AttachmentPath)

strFolder = "C:\Documents and Settings\ThinkPad\Desktop\Text Files\"
strFile = Dir$(strFolder & "*.txt")
Do While Len(strFile) > 0

strFile = Dir$()
Loop

End If
'etc. etc. etc.

That didn't work either!! Ideally, I'd like to enter the path in my new
TextBox, named 'AttachmentPath'. Do I have to do something with the
ControlSource? I am trying to make this as easy as possible to use.
Eventually, others will probably use this DB, and I wouldn't expect them to
go into the VB Editor and modify code.

I am sure it has something to do with the Dir$() function, because I've used
this before (importing several excel files into a Tables; even worked with
multiple tables). I'd be most appreciative if you could answer this last
question Doug. Everything else works great!!!

Thanks for all the effort,
Ryan---

You should use the same Forms!NameOfForm!AttachmentPath syntax that you're
using to get the addresses.

Another issue is your use of the IsMissing function. The IsMissing function
is intended to detect whether or not optional Variant arguments have been
provided in calling a procedure. I believe you need the IsNull function.

In your second attempt, you're getting the file names into strFile, but
you're not doing anything with strFile. (As well, recognize that strFile
only contains the file path: you'll need strFolder & strFile in order to
address the specific file)

There might be something relevant in the Access EMail FAQ that Tony Toews
has at http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/email.htm

Thanks Doug!! If I can find the solution I will post back.

Thanks for the tip Doug. Now, It fails on this line:
Set MyRS = MyDB.OpenRecordset("tblMailingList")

The Table is named as 'tblMailingList'. I don't think that is thge
problem,
but when I place the mouse over the error-line, I see the balloon
message
and
this...'MyRS = Nothing'. Very bizarre! How could it be nothing? I
am
not
an Access expert by any means, but this seems pretty
straightforward...just
can't see the problem here...

I'd welcome any more input.

Thanks,

Did you actually change the name of the recordset? If so, you need
to
change
it in the line that fails as well.

If you didn't change the name of the recordset, be aware that
there's
no
Edit method for ADO recordsets.

Hummm, never had to do that before, but ok. Now I have these
lines
in
the
module:

Dim myADORecordset As ADODB.Recordset
Dim myDAORecordset As DAO.Recordset


Now, when I run the code I get an error that reads:
'Compile Error: Method or data error not found'

Code fails on this line:
RS.Edit

Foiled for now; hopefully not for long.

Any other suggestions?


Thanks,

Thanks for the link!! Thanks, also, for everything!! I've got to learn much
more about Access. Now is as good a time as any, to get started. I guess
I'll begin with those attachments...try to figure it out on my own...

Thanks again!!

You should use the same Forms!NameOfForm!AttachmentPath syntax that you're
using to get the addresses.

Another issue is your use of the IsMissing function. The IsMissing function
is intended to detect whether or not optional Variant arguments have been
provided in calling a procedure. I believe you need the IsNull function.

In your second attempt, you're getting the file names into strFile, but
you're not doing anything with strFile. (As well, recognize that strFile
only contains the file path: you'll need strFolder & strFile in order to
address the specific file)

There might be something relevant in the Access EMail FAQ that Tony Toews
has at http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/email.htm

Thanks Doug! That was exactly it! Please respond to one more question,
if
it is not too much trouble. How do I attach several files, all in the
same
folder, ot these emails that I am sending out? I tried to add another
TextBox to my frmMail. I named it 'AttachmentPath' and mapped it to a
file
that I have on my Desktop. When the macro fires, the email goes, but no
attachment is sent.

I would suspect that this line of code controls the attachments:
Set objOutlookAttach = .Attachments.Add(AttachmentPath)

That's why I named the TextBox 'AttachmentPath'.

Anyway, that wouldn't even send one file, and I wanted to be able to send
multiple files. I tried code like the following:
'Add the attachment to the e-mail message.
If Not IsMissing(AttachmentPath) Then
Set objOutlookAttach = .Attachments.Add(AttachmentPath)

strFolder = "C:\Documents and Settings\ThinkPad\Desktop\Text Files\"
strFile = Dir$(strFolder & "*.txt")
Do While Len(strFile) > 0

strFile = Dir$()
Loop

End If
'etc. etc. etc.

That didn't work either!! Ideally, I'd like to enter the path in my new
TextBox, named 'AttachmentPath'. Do I have to do something with the
ControlSource? I am trying to make this as easy as possible to use.
Eventually, others will probably use this DB, and I wouldn't expect them
to
go into the VB Editor and modify code.

I am sure it has something to do with the Dir$() function, because I've
used
this before (importing several excel files into a Tables; even worked with
multiple tables). I'd be most appreciative if you could answer this last
question Doug. Everything else works great!!!

Thanks for all the effort,

This small, free, utility is VERY useful if you are planning to send
