    I have a check box in my form and want to know if there is a way to have an email sent when ever the box is checked?

    It kind of worked. It opens an email dialogue box, but if the message is closed out a runtime error '2501' message - the sendobject action was cancelled occurs and stops the database to debug it. How can I have the database still run even if the email message box is closed. The code was pulled from the site that was noted above:
    Private Sub Command164_Click()

    DoCmd.SendObject _
    , _
    , _
    , _
    "sample@email.com", _
    , _
    , _
    "My drawing update", _
    "Message", _
    True

    End Sub

    I would add error trapping and do whatever you want with that error:
