Question Sending a PDF to a web site

[KarenGilmurray]

Hi

can anyone point me in the right direction?

I have a DB that runs on a user's pc. It creates a pdf from a report automatically at a specific time of day. The user now wants me to automatically send this pdf to his web site so that his customers can view the report over the internet. The pc that the db runs on has an internet connection but no email system (they do not want email on this pc).

I have not been able to find code to do this. I can find code for sending email but this is not what I want to do. I'm sure it must be possible but I've never done anything like this before. Any pointers anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Karen

G'd evening Karen,
the common way to do this is via FTP, what is not common is to do it with Access... But AJ and DCrake shared their code to accomplish this unusual task.
G'd luck

Hi Estuardo

thanks very much for the prompt reply. The code looks good - I'll give it a try on Thursday when I'm back in the office. In a way I'm relieved that there isn't a simple Access command to do this - I was starting to think I was being very dense in not being able to find it!

Best wishes

G'd Afternoon KAren,
It's a pity access has not a built-in function for this, but like you said the code doesn't look that complex .
