Sending multiple versions of report by email (1 Viewer)

[Swampmeister]

I currently have a report for Debtors that lists everyone currently owing money. The report is based on qryDebtors and contains many Customers and details of each of their unpaid invoices. The date range to be applied is selected from a general form frmSales.

The report has so far been printed with individual companies' pages being extracted and sent to them by snail mail. Some customers now want their reports emailed. I can do this one by one but I'd like to mark all customers who have requested emails and generate their reports with one button press.

I've grappled with creating a recordset for a new qryDebtorsRequestingEmail but so far unsuccessfully. Maybe someone has been down this route before?

add another field (EMailRequest, Yes/No field) to your master customer table.
tick those who are requesting email reports.

you can create a query of all customers whose EMailRequest is set to Yes/True.
