    Database email notification 'from' address

    Hello,



    I have a database which sends email notifications to the supervisor when a new record is added.
    This informs the supervisor to go in and review the new record and verify accordingly.

    Currently, this email shows the from address as the email address of the user, I would like it to simply display something such as "Access Notification Email" or something generic.
    Is this possible and if so, how?

    Thanks, and Merry Christmas

    Why don't you do a test and see what happens.

    Multiple tests performed, all with the same result, the outlook email address (company email address) of the person inputting the record is displayed.

    I think a valid email address is required. Which is why you often see 'do not reply to' messages. Are you using SendObject method? If you want to specify the From address, use code that manipulates Outlook objects or uses CDO. Review:
