    Question Send E-mail template based on Birthday Query

    Hello,
    My idea: run a access file that would check if someone makes birthday on today's day. And if yes, then a Happy Birthday e-mail would be sent automatically to that person e-mail.

    Reality:

    Now, I have the following Database:

    1 Table - t_User (Name, Birthday, E-mail address)
    1 Query - q_Aniv
    1 Form - f_Aniv

    For the Query, i have:

    SELECT t_User.Name


    FROM t_User
    WHERE (((Month([Birthday]))=Month(Date())) AND ((Day([Birthday]))=Day(Date())));


    For the Form, i have:

    Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
    Dim email As Long
    On Error Resume Next
    Err.Clear
    If Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount > 0 Then
    MsgBox "Today's birthday"
    Cancel = True
    email = Shell("""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\Outlook.exe"" /f c:\temp\Aniv.msg")
    Else
    MsgBox "Nobody does birthday"
    Cancel = True
    End If
    End Sub


    So, with this i run the Form and my E-mail message template is open if i got someone who makes birthday today, but i'd like to fill the To field with the e-mail address from the Table t_User before send it, is it possible?

    Or can i create a replica of the e-mail message in the Form and have a "Send" button to send the e-mail directly, after checking if someone does birthday "today"?

    The body of the e-mail is a image, and i'd like to keep it, if possible.

    Thank you!

    Look at SendObject, which has an argument for using a template file. If you add the email address to the query/form you can get it from there. Your code doesn't account for the possibility of multiple people with the same birthday.

    Hello, thanks for the tip.
    I've changed the query to show Name and E-mail address:
    SELECT t_User.Nome, t_User.[E-mail]
    FROM t_User
    WHERE (((Month([DataNascimento]))=Month(Date())) AND ((Day([DataNascimento]))=Day(Date())));

    But i still can't put it to get the emaila ddress from the query.
    Yes, my code does not account for the possibility of multiple people, i remember that yesterday afternoon, but i was trying to figure it out, and i don't know which code i have to do.
    I'm not an expert on coding, and i'm googling and trying piece of codes, if i get what i want.
    Now i'll look at the SendObject function, and see if it's usefull to me.
    Thanks!

    I don't know how you'd add the address using the method you've got. SendObject should give you more control. Here's my template code for looping a recordset. Base it on your query, and within the loop send your email. You refer to a field from the recordset like

    rs!FieldName

    Code:
      Dim strSQL  As String
      Dim db      As DAO.Database
      Dim rs      As DAO.Recordset
    
      Set db = CurrentDb()
      
      strSQL = "SELECT ..."
      Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset)
    
      Do While Not rs.EOF
        'your code to send emails here
        rs.MoveNext
      Loop
    
      rs.Close
      set rs = nothing
      set db = nothing
