Guys.. this is a real challenge!!

[Babe_uk]

Hi to you all,

I have a big problem here.. basically, i have a student email addresses stored in student information table. I would like to click on a button, which will open Outlook Express and send an email message to all the students who have an e-mail account. I also want a button which send an email message to an individual.. Please i am desperate for your help here!

Cheers

For an individual email how about a DoubleClick event on the email field of the student:

DoCmd.SendObject , , , Me.[EmailFieldName]

Hopefully someone else can help you with the bulk mailing

Thanks for the tip guys, however i get an error message asking for a macro and if i try to create an macro the docmd option isn't there!! help

Sounds like you're trying to enter code directly on the Event line. Where you would ordinarily put the event's macro, click on the [...] on the right edge and select Code builder. Code goes there, between the start and finish of the subroutine.

Alternatively, post what you're trying here and perhaps someone can spot what happened.

HTH,
