    Beginner trying to send email with attachment

    I'm a beginner and I've created a database with great difficulty.

    It's the list of a ton of clients, in various areas. The idea is to call each one, ask if they would like an e-mail brochure, press a button on the form and have access automatically send them a pdf file.

    I don't know anything about macros, and have only really started using access now, I've forgotten the stuff I was taught at college and uni.



    How would I get access to do this?

    Access is only a database handler.
    It cannot send email or send file by itself.
    You must know vba to do things beyond what access can do.

    BTW: Instead you can email to your client and with a hyperlink on the message giving them the required pdf.

    thhui input is true. if you still would like to research code on how to send email via ms access, you can research it on a1vbcode.com. you just need to self-study.

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