I have Access 2007. I have a form where I can attach PDFs, Word documents, etc with an command button. This atachment is then put into a field in a table which has the email address and works fine. The attachments are there in the field with the paper clip in the field title.
I have a command button with an embedded macro that opens OUTLOOK and the email form with the email address and all the other information inserted perfectly. How do I get the OUTLOOK email to grab the assoiated attachment(s) from the record in the table and send them with the email? I can send the email without the attachment just fine.
The attachments cannot be located in a common path. They must be in the field in the associated record and each attachement will be different from one record to the next.
The emails are sent one by one, not as part of a group.
The form name is TASK DETAILS.
The email command buttin is called E-mail
The table is called TASKS
The attachment command buttin is called Attachments
What do I need to do this? I have searched many forums , but none have addressed sending an attachment that is is in a field in a record.
Thanks so much. This has been painful!
