I was wondering if anyone could help me. For a school project i am making a databse, and i am wanting to set up a form, where i can type in any email address into a field, either type the message, or have the message in the VB code, and click send, and let it send the email. Could anyone help me?

Thanks
Aidy

Errrmmm that's quite complicated, you basically want to replicate an email client using access ? errr why access of all things. As to an easy solution what about something in html (you can have various databases including access displayed in html). Utilise an html form and use the mailto: keyword to invoke the email client and pass data displayed on the form to the email body

how exactly do i make an HTML form. Never used one before. Sorry if that sounds stupid but i'm not the best at databases. I have found code to send e-mails through access, but the most of them, require that the email address is put in the code, and then it is only sent to that person,i want to specify who i send it to.

I'm not 100% sure of what you want to do but does this help ..

when creating a table in design view make one of the fields "hyperlink" when you go back into datasheet view to input data put in mailto: rayok123@hotmail.com when you click on it it will invoke the email client with a pre addressed email
