    Is it possible to send email from Access using GMail


    I have seen plenty of examples to send emails with attachments via Outlook. I want to send emails from Gmail. Is it possible to specify the sender email address?

    I have not had any luck using CDO with a GMAIL account. Did you get it to work?

    Not yet. I'm just about to start experimenting, but I found other discussions where people could not get it to work, so I'm not very hopeful.

    You might try putting the GMAIL settings in a program like Outlook and then create an Outlook Object in Access using VBA. You can send an email through your Outlook app.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
