Here is a simple method for mailing an Access report to someone
as an attachment. This VBA example uses the docmd.sendobject to
email the report in rich text format (RTF).
This method should work with any email program running on your PC and should
also work for sending a PDF email attachment. The VBA programming code
follows:
Public Sub MailIt()
On Error GoTo Error_MailIt
Dim Rst As Recordset
open the table that the report reads to make sure there is a record in it.
Set Rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("EmailRpt", & _ DB_OPEN_DYNASET)
If Not Rst.BOF Then
DoCmd.SendObject acReport, "RptEmailAdjustment", & _
"rich text format (*.rtf)", strEmailAddressGlobal, , , & _
StrSubjectGlobal , StrMessageGlobal
End If
Goto OK_Exit:
Error_MailIt:
MsgBox Error$ & " MailIt "
GoTo Exit_MailIt
Resume OK_Exit
OK_Exit:
Rst.Close
Set Rst = Nothing
End Sub
More recent
versions of Access give you the ability to output reports in PDF format
directly. This makes it much easier to send reports since almost everyone
is used to opening PDF attachments in their emails.
