Emails only send from my computer (1 Viewer)

rick roberts · Oct 25, 2011

i have a program that sends emails at the click of a button - containing text in the - to. subject. body. and an attachment. all works fine until i use this program on another computer. it seems to send but when i look at the outlook send folder there is nothing there and neither has it been sent. as if the command leaves the program but never reaches outlook. even when i create my email account on another computer and make it the default account (im presuming access always sends through the default??) it still wont send
any ideas gratefully received
thanks

is outlook the default mail client on the target machine. outlook express maybe?

ive tried it on 2 different machines and both use outlook

Did you enable all macros on Trust Centre from Access options. OR checking the coding on the button again if it exists. I have found several times that during compact and repair some codes are washed out from important buttons.

i clicked the option to allow all macros yes and all other buttons work fine
i did find that the path i used to create a temporary .rtf file as an attachment wasnt always available in the other comps (so i have now set it to c:\ which i presume all computers use) but even with that i would have expected the email to send - just not with the attachment

it appears to be a windows issue. the email routine works on other machines running windows xp but wont work with windows 7 i have yet to try it on vista
im using office 2007 to create the database

nope - doesnt seem to work for vista either
