bcm >> Accessing Linked E-mail

by U3RldmVuIENhc2g » Wed, 14 Mar 2007 22:42:00 GMT

I use the link feature to connect e-mails to particular opportunities; the
result is that the email shows in the Opportunity History. My problem is
that sometimes when I click on the item in the Opportunity History the e-mail
opens; other times a message opens with the email text inside, but missing
attachments, etc.

I suspect this has to do with where I store older e-mails (I move them from
my businesses server to a folder on my C:Drive). Is there an clear way of
understanding how to store the linked email so it comes up when clicked?

I have an Access contacts database with both email addresses and building 
addresses. I'd like to be able to: 

1) set up an 'email these contacts' function (not just copy and paste 
emails) - i've already set up queries to select relevant groups

2) set up a 'use these addresses for mail merge' function

I've consulted the help file but can't seem to find anything - can anybody 
advise?

thank you thank you

4. Linking the actual email-adress from an email-message into Access

In my Access 2003 database, I have a linked table to my Outlook 2003 Inbox. 
However, in the "From"-field of the linked table, the actual email-adress is 
NOT shown. Instead I see the "email-name" which the sender has chosen, for 
instance: 
"Reg Taylor"
What I want to see in my linked table is the email-address:
 XXXX@XXXXX.COM 

Don't know if this is something I fix in Access or Outlook?
Hope somebody can help me, I really need this to work!

6. E-mail links to Outlook in Access fields

In MS Word, if you type an email address, it becomes a link automatically. If 
you click on that link, it opens Outlook with a new message, ready to create 
and send.

I have a field in an Access form (Text Field) for email addresses, and I 
would like to have the same functionality.  I tried changing the field to a 
hyperlink, but it took me to the web instead.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

7. Can't Access Web Links from Outlook Express Mail

8. Create Link in E-mail that opens an Access database

Hello,

I have read the thread "autofilling access database from outlook" and took 
read the link that was posted in the reponse, but I cannot seem to get the 
answer I'm looking for.

I have my database set up so that it automatically sends an e-mail to a 
person based on form values. I would like to place an embeded link into the 
message that will open up the database that sent the e-mail.

If that cannot be done, is there a simple way to add the link manually in 
the Outlook message? I just want it to open the database right from the 
e-mail so that they do not have to close the message and find the folder that 
the database resides in.

I realize that this is an Outlook forum, but here is the VB code in Access 
that send the e-mail to outlook:

Dim emailBody As String
Dim emailSubject As String

emailSubject = "Product Test Request"

On Error GoTo btnSend_Click_error
If Me!lboRequestor.ItemsSelected.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "Please select a test requestor"
Exit Sub
End If
Me.PART_NO.SetFocus
emailBody = "Hello, " & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"A product test request has been issued for the following Part Number: " & 
Me.PART_NO.Text & _
vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Please log into the Product Engineering test database to 
review this request, Thank You!"

On Error GoTo btnSend_Click_error
If Me!lboRequestee.ItemsSelected.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "Please select a test requestee"
Exit Sub
End If

For Each varItem In Me!lboRequestee.ItemsSelected
emName = emName & Chr(34) & Me!lboRequestee.Column(2, varItem) & Chr(34) & ","
Next varItem

For Each varItem In Me!lboRequestor.ItemsSelected
emName2 = emName2 & Chr(34) & Me!lboRequestor.Column(2, varItem) & Chr(34) & 
","
Next varItem

'remove the extra comma at the end
'add the requestor to the e-mail list recipients
emName2 = Left$(emName2, Len(emName2) - 1)
emName = emName & emName2

'send message
DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, , , emName, , , emailSubject, emailBody, 
True, False

DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmRequest", acSaveNo
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMain", acNormal, , , , acDialog

btnSend_Click_error:
If Err.Number = 2501 Then
MsgBox "You just canceled the e-mail", vbCritical, "Alert"
End If
