    Using GMail instead of Outlook

    I've posted about this topic before, but not this specifically. The PTB have now decided I need to find a way for GMail and Access to shake hands. Put simply, is there a way to send out reports via GMail instead of Outlook, which we no longer have access to. At the moment, our users are saving reports as PDF files then manually creating emails in GMail, then sending the report out as an attachment. Is there away to achieve the same functionality in GMail that we had in Outlook and have the emails be sent directly from Access. My research has not come up with anything user or developer friendly.



    Thanks,

    Paul

    Working on a solution suggested in another post. Not sure how to deactivate this one. I let you know if I find a solution that works for me.
