I created a form and would like to send an email using a button capturing data from the sub-form (based on a query).
I am using this YouTube video as a guide and get stuck (starting from msg =....
Private Sub cmd_EmailContact_Click()
Dim Msg As String
msg = "Dear " & First name & ",<P>" & _
Student First name & "has been successfully been loaded on the platform" & ",<P>" & _
"Student login details on the platform are:" & ",<P>" & _
"Username:" & Username & ",<P>" & _
"Password:" & Password**
Dim O As Outlook.Application
Dim M As Outlook.MailItem
Set O = New Outlook.Application
Set M = O.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With M
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
.HTMLBody = Msg
.To = Email
.Subject = "Student available on OARS"
.Display
End With
Set M = Nothing
Set O = Nothing
End Sub
Variables are populated on a query on the form.
First name (Name of teacher)
Student First name
Username
Password
To send the email as HTML, you will need to format the body with HTML tags and set the HTMLBody property of the olMailItem (email) as shown below.
The example uses late binding (no reference to Outlook needed) which means it can run with different versions of outlook installed.
Private Sub cmd_EmailContact_Click()
Dim firstName As String, _
studentFirstName As String, _
userName As String, _
password As String, _
email As String, _
body_ As String
'provide values
firstName = "ABC"
studentFirstName = "XYZ"
userName = "User"
password = "Pass"
email = "foo#bar.com"
'build body
body_ = "<p> Dear" & firstName & ", </p>" _
& "<p>" & studentFirstName & " has been successfully been loaded on the platform. </p>" _
& "<p> Student login details on the platform are: </p>" _
& "<p> Username: " & userName & "</p>" _
& "<p> Password: " & password & "</p>"
'send email
With CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
With .CreateItem(0) 'olMailItem
.BodyFormat = 2 'olFormatHTML
.To = email
.Subject = "Student available on OARS"
.HTMLBody = "<html><head></head><body>" & body_ & "</body></html>"
.Display
End With
End With
End Sub
You will need to provide values for the following variables:
FirstName
StudentFirstName
UserName
Password
Email

I've created a button within a form that will populate an email with certain fileds. some of these fields are drop down boxes which get their information from another table. In this example I have an field for the title (Mr, Mrs, etc), the form shows Mr but when this is written to an email the primary key is there in place of the actual title. "1" instead of "Mr.".
I've tried using what seems logical to get the info from the "TitleTBL"(name of table) but I don't seem to be getting it right. please see the VBA code below and let me know how to reference the actual Title and not the primary key of that option.
Thank You

To retrieve the display value of a combobox you use the .Column property.
E.g. if your Title combobox has 2 columns with TitleID ("1") and Title ("Mr."), you need .Column(1) because the column index is zero-bound.
You can make your code better readable by using a With statement:
With Forms("DataToDialFRM")
ID = !ID
Title = !Title.Column(1)
First = !First
' ...
End With
Use bang ! to refer to form controls, not form recordsource values.
I need my Access Database to create emails that are sent at the press of a button.
This works for Outlook, and I adapted the code for Gmail.
I don't want to hardcode the email username and password. I want to pick it up from a combobox on the main form.
I get the error
Private Sub Email_Allocation_List_Click()
Dim newMail As CDO.Message
Dim mailConfiguration As CDO.Configuration
Dim fields As Variant

I checked the comboboxes work with a text box.
After a lot of messing around, you are correct, the code is fine - and it was reading the contents of the combo box correctly - however GMail didn't accept the log in information if there was a capital letter on the email address!!! Now working beautifully.
What I want to do is send an email from a Thunderbird account automatically. The user shouldn't even have to hit the Send button of the email.
I've tried using CDO, but the problem with it is that you have to input the username and password of the account you are sending from. This macro will be used from several different accounts, so inputting each username and password isn't feasible. I could use CDO if there was someway of retrieving the username, password, and smtp server from Thunderbird, but I feel like the code I already have should be able to accomplish this without CDO (hopefully).
Here is really the only code I see (and it's everywhere) in regards to accomplishing this.
Sub Thunderbird()
Dim thund As String
Dim email As String
Dim cc As String
Dim bcc As String
Dim subj As String
Dim body As String
email = "email#test.com"
cc = "cc#test.com"
bcc = "bcc#test.com"
subj = "Subject"
body = "body text"
thund = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"
thund = thund & " -compose " & Chr$(34) & "mailto:" & email & "?"
thund = thund & "cc=" & Chr$(34) & cc & "?"
thund = thund & "bcc=" & Chr$(34) & bcc & "?"
thund = thund & "subject=" & Chr$(34) & subj & Chr$(34)
thund = thund & "body=" & Chr$(34) & body
Call Shell(thund, vbNormalFocus)
SendKeys "^+{ENTER}", True
End Sub
As of right now, the fields cc, bcc, subj, and body are all recognized correctly. The problem is they all get added to the end of the first field. For instance, with the way the code is right now, cc will get put in the cc field, but bcc, subj, and body all get appended to cc in the cc field of Thunderbird.
If I comment cc out, then bcc is put in the correct field, but subj and body get appended to bcc in the bcc field of Thunderbird.
If I comment cc and bcc out, then subj gets put in the correct field, but body gets appended to subj in the subject field of Thunderbird.
So basically I need to add the correct code at the end of each of these lines. I've tried both "?" and Chr$(34) to no avail.
Lastly, SendKeys "^+{ENTER}", True isn't working at all. This might be because of all the parameters not being put in the correct field of Thunderbird, but not sure since I can't get that working. Email from Thunderbird displays, but this code isn't sending the email like it's supposed to.
SOLUTION (as provided by #zedfoxus)
Sub Thunderbird()
Dim thund As String
Dim email As String
Dim cc As String
Dim bcc As String
Dim subj As String
Dim body As String
email = "email#test.com"
cc = "cc#test.com"
bcc = "bcc#test.com"
subj = "Subject"
body = "body text"
thund = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" & _
" -compose " & """" & _
"to='" & email & "'," & _
"cc='" & cc & "'," & _
"bcc='" & bcc & "'," & _
"subject='" & subj & "'," & _
"body='" & body & "'" & """"
Call Shell(thund, vbNormalFocus)
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:03"))
SendKeys "^{ENTER}", True
End Sub
You were pretty close. Try this:
Public Sub SendEmail()
Dim thund As String
Dim email As String
Dim cc As String
Dim bcc As String
Dim subj As String
Dim body As String
email = "test#test.com"
cc = "test#test.com"
bcc = "test#test.com"
subj = "Testing"
body = "Testing"
thund = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe " & _
"-compose " & """" & _
"to='" & email & "'," & _
"cc='" & cc & "'," & _
"bcc='" & bcc & "'," & _
"subject='" & subj & "'," & _
"body='" & body & "'" & """"
Call Shell(thund, vbNormalFocus)
SendKeys "^+{ENTER}", True
End Sub
Notice the example from http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments_(Thunderbird).
thunderbird -compose "to='john#example.com,kathy#example.com',cc='britney#example.com',subject='dinner',body='How about dinner tonight?',attachment='C:\temp\info.doc,C:\temp\food.doc'"
The example indicates that after -compose we should use type our information in double-quotes. Each parameter is separated by comma. Nomenclature is parameter='value[,value]' [,parameter='value[,value]]....
Does anybody know how to send a link to a word document via email in word vba? I want to use gmail not outlook. I found a solution for outlook:
http://www.rondebruin.nl/win/s1/outlook/bmail10.htm
Is there anyway that can be modified to work using gmail?
I modified: http://www.rondebruin.nl/win/s1/cdo.htm to work with gmail, and it is working fine. I just need to add a link to the body of the email.
You'll need to use the htmlBody property instead of TextBody and use an <a> tag in the HTML.
I didn't know how to send my code...So I posted it as an answer. Hope that's ok. Also I get a strange run time error that I wasn't getting before. Other than that it works.
Thanks!
Danielle

I am trying to create a taskmangement in Outlook with Custom Forms.
The custom form has a button (sendtask) a field assignto and a hidden textbox that copies the value from assignto to add to variable (myvalue) to include in To.
A user can assign a task with the assignto field. But with this way I can't send an email to multiple recipients.
Sub sendtask_click()
Set objPage = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("Assign Task")
Set objControl = objPage.Controls("TextBox1")
Set oMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set objNS = oMsg.Session
MyValue= objControl.Text
With oMsg
.To(MyValue)
.Subject = "New Task Assign"
.HTMLBody = "<HTML><BODY>You have new Task assign by " & _
objNS.CurrentUser.Name & " <h1>" & Item.Subject & _
"</h1><br/>" & "Description <br/>" & Item.Body & _
"<br/><br/>" & "Start Date:" & Item.StartDate & _
"<br/>" & "Due Date:" & Item.DueDate & "</BODY></HTML>"
.Send
End With
End Sub
How can I send an email to multiple recipients?
Did you try
With oMsg
.To = Join(Array("someone#here.com", MyValue),"; ")
'... rest of your with block code
End With
