HI!
i have previously got a solution here which was working fine. Recently without any warning the email body content shows blank.
However the email address is correct assigned.

Not sure why the body contents are not displayed.
I am sharing the previous vba code

Code:
Private Sub send_mail_Click()
'modified by thedbguy@gmail.com

'Create application and mail objects
Dim olApp As Object
Dim objMail As Object
Dim db As DAO.Database

Dim strID As String
Dim strTable As String
Dim strName As String
Dim strEmailTo As String
Dim strEmailcc As String
Dim rowColor As String
Dim i As Integer

Set db = CurrentDb()

'loop through query records
Set rs1 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT DISTINCT DispatchLocation FROM qryDataToSend", dbOpenSnapshot)

Do While Not rs1.EOF
Set rs2 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM qryDataToSend WHERE DispatchLocation='" & rs1!DispatchLocation & "'", dbOpenSnapshot)
Do While Not rs2.EOF
'Email header
' strName = rs2!DispatchLocation
strName = "<b><i>Dear All,</i></b><br>" & vbNewLine & vbCrLf & "<br><i>Below is the summary of returns and dispatch status</i><br>" _
& "<b><i></i></b><br>" _

strEmailTo = rs2!email_Id_To
strEmailcc = rs2!email_Id_cc

Hi. When you say the body is empty, is it totally empty, or do you see something, just not everything?

Okay, if this used to work and then suddenly it doesn't, maybe something has changed with the computer. Did you install any new updates or software? Have you tried using a different computer? To help you troubleshoot this, you may have to post a sample copy of your db with test data.

Could you add a debug.print .htmlbody after the last html body statement and view in the debug window. Or alternatively put a breakpoint after the last .htmlbody and do a ? .htmlbody in the immediate window and see what is displayed?

Please indent your code so others - and yourself - are able to read and follow it.

Perhaps start checking your recordsets?
Walk through the code with F8 after setting a breakpoint?

Compare your posted code in this thread from before and now.

You have to approach this logically, not just change code adhoc.?

Thinks of the steps you are taking.?

Hint: Your email addresses were coming from recordset 2

You should not use On Error Resume Next without resuming normal error handling after the test for GetObject

Think about it. This is telling Access "If an error is encountered during the rest of this code, don't tell me anything about it so I have no idea it's happening and try to continue". It makes no sense to do that.

Get rid of that and you will be able to debug this yourself

I *thought* if you used Late Binding, you could not use any specific app constants?

Replace your error line with

Set objMail = olApp.CreateItem(0)

Access doesn't know what olMailItem is. It's an Outlook enumerated value. (Like a constant)
If you get some similar issues, further on then look up the value that Outlook would enumerate from the constant.

Thank you for confirming that @Minty
So I am so puzzled now as to how it all worked before :unsure:
