Using Outlook custom form from Access

N

Newbie

Hi,

I have a custom form in Outlook 2000 that I want to be used when a user
clicks on a command button to send an email.

I can automate sending the email but I am not sure how to make the custom
form be used instead on the normal form

Any ideas?

FYI the code I have for automating the email is:

Sub SendMessage(strEmailTo, Optional strEmailCc, Optional AttachmentPath)
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim objOutlookMsg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objOutlookRecip As Outlook.Recipient
Dim objOutlookAttach As Outlook.Attachment
Dim strMessage As String

strMessage = "The following error has occured: " & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
strMessage = strMessage & "Location: " & strLocation & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
strMessage = strMessage & "Error No. " & strError & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
strMessage = strMessage & "Description: " & strDesc

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

' Create the message.
Set objOutlookMsg = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)

With objOutlookMsg
' Add the To recipient(s) to the message.
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add(strEmailTo)
objOutlookRecip.Type = olTo

If Not IsMissing(strEmailCc) Then
' Add the CC recipient(s) to the message.
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add(strEmailCc)
objOutlookRecip.Type = olCC
End If
' Set the Subject, Body, and Importance of the message.
.Subject = "MIS Error"
.Body = strMessage

.Importance = olImportanceHigh 'High importance

' Add attachments to the message.
If Not IsMissing(AttachmentPath) Then
Set objOutlookAttach = .Attachments.Add(AttachmentPath)
End If

' Resolve each Recipient's name.
For Each objOutlookRecip In .Recipients
objOutlookRecip.Resolve
If Not objOutlookRecip.Resolve Then
objOutlookMsg.Display
End If
Next
.Display

End With
Set objOutlookMsg = Nothing
Set objOutlook = Nothing
End Sub
