Access 2010 - Email - Trying to insert a Hyperlink into the VBA of an Onclick Email

[Parker]

Background:


I'm working on creating a form where when a single button is clicked an automated email is sent to a certain person.

Problem:
In the actual body of the message I would like for there to be a hyperlink in it. How can I add this in the code?

Private Sub Close_Form_Click()


DoCmd.SendObject _
, _
, _
, _
"email.com", _
, _
, _
"Email Subject", _
"Email Message - "www.google.com", _ (<-- This is what I want to be clickable in the actual email)
True




End Sub


Thank you all!

Thanks Rpeare, but the only problem is that the code in that link you sent is for Outlook... Will this still work with Lotus Notes?

If Lotus Notes understands html code tags, then it should work.

Instead of referencing Outlook library and Outlook objects, use late binding.

Thanks June7, but I am not too familiar with what late binding means.

Could you be explicit and show what I would need to change in the code below to make it work for my Lotus notes?


'Public Sub SendNotesMail(Subject as string, attachment as string,
'recipient as string, bodytext as string,saveit as Boolean)
'This public sub will send a mail and attachment if neccessary to the
'recipient including the body text.
'Requires that notes client is installed on the system.
Public Sub SendNotesMail(Subject As String, Attachment As String, Recipient As String, BodyText As String, SaveIt As Boolean)
'Set up the objects required for Automation into lotus notes
Dim Maildb As Object 'The mail database
Dim UserName As String 'The current users notes name
Dim MailDbName As String 'THe current users notes mail database name
Dim MailDoc As Object 'The mail document itself
Dim AttachME As Object 'The attachment richtextfile object
Dim Session As Object 'The notes session
Dim EmbedObj As Object 'The embedded object (Attachment)
'Start a session to notes
Set Session = CreateObject("Notes.NotesSession")
'Next line only works with 5.x and above. Replace password with your password
Session.Initialize("password")
'Get the sessions username and then calculate the mail file name
'You may or may not need this as for MailDBname with some systems you
'can pass an empty string or using above password you can use other mailboxes.
UserName = Session.UserName
MailDbName = Left$(UserName, 1) & Right$(UserName, (Len(UserName) - InStr(1, UserName, " "))) & ".nsf"
'Open the mail database in notes
Set Maildb = Session.GETDATABASE("", MailDbName)
If Maildb.ISOPEN = True Then
'Already open for mail
Else
Maildb.OPENMAIL
End If
'Set up the new mail document
Set MailDoc = Maildb.CREATEDOCUMENT
MailDoc.Form = "Memo"
MailDoc.sendto = Recipient
MailDoc.Subject = Subject
MailDoc.Body = BodyText
MailDoc.SAVEMESSAGEONSEND = SaveIt
'Set up the embedded object and attachment and attach it
If Attachment <> "" Then
Set AttachME = MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM("Attachment")
Set EmbedObj = AttachME.EMBEDOBJECT(1454, "", Attachment, "Attachment")
MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM ("Attachment")
End If
'Send the document
MailDoc.PostedDate=Now() 'Gets the mail to appear in the sent items folder
MailDoc.SEND 0, Recipient
'Clean Up
Set Maildb = Nothing
Set MailDoc = Nothing
Set AttachME = Nothing
Set Session = Nothing
Set EmbedObj = Nothing
End Sub

Late binding means the type of object is not specified in the Dim, just a generic Object is declared.

I've never used LotusNotes.

Test this simple procedure, send to yourself:

Sub SendMail()
Dim Session As Object 'The notes session
Dim MailDoc As Object 'The mail document itself
Dim Maildb As Object 'The mail database
Set Session = CreateObject("Notes.NotesSession")
Set Maildb = Session.GETDATABASE("", MailDbName)
Set MailDoc = Maildb.CREATEDOCUMENT
Session.Initialize("your password")
MailDoc.Form = "Memo"
MailDoc.Sendto = "your email address"
MailDoc.Subject = "subject text"
MailDoc.Body = "body text"
MailDoc.SAVEMESSAGEONSEND = True
MailDoc.PostedDate=Now() 'Gets the mail to appear in the sent items folder
MailDoc.SEND 0, "your email address"
End Sub

Maybe a rich text format and some href tags for the body string.

Thanks June7, but that did not work

[June7]

What happened - error message, wrong results, nothing?

[Parker]

Nothing happens... button presses down, but nothing. The form stays open, the email does not pop up... nothing.

[June7]

You selected [Event Procedure] in the button click event? Then click the ellipsis (...) to open VBA editor. Type code in the procedure.

Review link at bottom of my post for debugging guidelines.

[Parker]

Yes lol... that is exactly what I did. I only change what you put in red correct?

[Parker]

Sub SendMail()
Dim Session As Object 'The notes session
Dim MailDoc As Object 'The mail document itself
Dim Maildb As Object 'The mail database
Set Session = CreateObject("Notes.NotesSession")
Set Maildb = Session.GETDATABASE("", MailDbName)
Set MailDoc = Maildb.CREATEDOCUMENT
Session.Initialize ("password")
MailDoc.Form = "Memo"
MailDoc.Sendto = "email"
MailDoc.Subject = "subject text"
MailDoc.Body = "body text"
MailDoc.SAVEMESSAGEONSEND = True
MailDoc.PostedDate = Now() 'Gets the mail to appear in the sent items folder
MailDoc.SEND 0, "email"
End Sub


Private Sub Save_Record_Click()

End Sub


when i open it back up it adds this bottom part in bold

[June7]

The code needs to go between the bold lines but don't use the Sub SendMail() declaration line and don't repeat the End Sub

[Parker]

Yes, I know... I tried exactly as you have presented it, but it still does not work ;/

Maybe my work server blocks this from happening?
