can your report name be sent to an email subject

[Compufreak]

Hi all

just out of curiosity ... i would like to know if it is possible to get the report name as an email subject ... once the report has been put in pdf?

You would have to do it when creating the pdf and normally you would do something like:
DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, "YourReportName", acFormatPDF, "SendToEmail", , , "YourReportName", "YourText", True

I will say yes. What procedure are you using to create the pdf?

Here is one example of code sending email. https://www.accessforums.net/access/...ess-28311.html

im using a macro to send the report in pdf to be emailed.

I use only VBA so not sure how macro would handle this. I would have to review code if you want to provide db. Follow instructions at bottom of my post.

i would upload the database but it is to huge ....

Did you make copy, remove confidential data, delete records (a few for testing would be nice), run Compact & Repair, zip? Still too large? Can upload to fileshare site such as Box.com and post link to the file.

Private Sub Command21_Click()
On Error GoTo Command21_Click_Err
DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, "Search_by_Clusters and date", "PDFFormat(*.pdf)", "", , , Text28.Value = namepri, "", True
Command21_Click_Exit:
Exit Sub
Command21_Click_Err:
Select Case Err.Number
Case 2501
MsgBox "You have not sent an email.", vbInformation
Case Else
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & " " & Err.Description
End Select
Resume Command21_Click_Exit
End Sub

so the above code works well with putting the report in PDF , but my subject line does not seem to wanna bring the report name

June 7 i aint sure if you can help but i have recoded this thing from a macro to VBA

The argument cannot be an equation. That makes no sense. The result of the equation is either True or False (-1 or 0) and that would be the Subject. What were you intending by using the equation: Text28.Value = namepri ?

DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, "Search_by_Clusters and date", "PDFFormat(*.pdf)", "", , , "Search_by_Clusters and date", "", True
