Hi Vic

I went in and tried again this morning on the XP machines. Low and behold it worked. I didn't change any code. I always find this sort of problem the most frustrating...

I'm going to leave it to try - until I get some phonecalls. I'm not sure I need the Office 12 / 2007 converter as all the machines are running 2003 Access? All the other applications are 2007.

Hi William

Many thanks for your offer of sending me the code. That would be great. I'm happy to send my email address if that's how it is done? I also had the problem with SendObject. One minute it worked - the next it didn't. Which is too close for comfort to my current position.

Many thanks

Paul

Here is the original article that describes a method to send email from Access without referencing the Outlook library, it uses the Collaboration Data Objects CDO 1.21 library...

SendObject method fails in Access 2000

Try this to send email without having to automate outlook.

Set iMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

Set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

Set Flds = iConf.Fields

strSchema = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/"

Flds.Item(strSchema & "sendusing") = 2

Flds.Item(strSchema & "smtpserver") = "smtp.yourdomain.com"

Flds.Item(strSchema & "smtpserverport") = 465 'needed if using SSL

Flds.Item(strSchema & "smtpauthenticate") = 1 'needed if using SSL

Flds.Item(strSchema & "sendusername") = strAccount

Flds.Item(strSchema & "sendpassword") = strPassword

Flds.Item(strSchema & "smtpusessl") = 1

Flds.Update

With iMsg

.To = strEmailAddress

If strEmailCC <> "" Then

.cc = strEmailCC

End If

.From = "youraccount@yourdomain.com"

.Subject = strEmailSubject

.HTMLBody = strEmailMessage

.Sender = "youraccount@yourdomain.com"

.Organization = "NHS"

.ReplyTo = "youraccount@yourdomain.com"

'possible loop here to add multiple attachments?

.AddAttachment = strFilename

Set .Configuration = iConf

.send

End With

Set iMsg = Nothing

Set iConf = Nothing

Set Flds = Nothing

Hi Danbarua

Many thanks for sending this. It looks very good. Email is working fine at the moment, but I'll give this a try and see if I can make it work.

Best wishes

Paul
