I am trying to send an email from outlook using access. The problem that i am having is that the email is not sending. The email gets to outlook were i can view it, but it is not getting into any mail box (hotmail, Domain mail)
The email address's come from a query that produced a list of email address's.
I have used the code from some were else, but this is the closest i have got to performing the task i need.
Here is the code
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
' You need to declare a reference to the Outlook library, and the filesystemobject.
' this is not as hard as it sounds.
'
' Look in the menu above, and click Tools, then select References
'
' Scroll down the list until you see
' Microsoft Scripting Runtime -- and put a check next to it (if one is not there already)
'
' Microsoft Outlook Object Library -- check that.
' There will be some version number there as well; it doesn't matter.
' This will work with Outlook98 and Outlook2000 and OutlookXP. It hasn't been tested on Outlook 2003 yet.
