now for the bigger problam :)

I know you pepole hate using OE for sending emails, but its user friendly and its needed in this case...

I found on this forum, a code that sends email using OE with attachments.

it works, but with two problams... first, its directly sends the email, without opening the OE "editing mode" of the email, like when you use the DoCmd.SendObjec t.
this is the smaller problams though...

the bigger problam which I think is connected to the first one, is that when it send the email it also neutralize access completely untill the email is sent. and if I attach a big file (which will be always in my db case...) you can't continue working on the db... : \

maybe I need a completly diffrent code, but I'll paste what I'm trying anyway, maybe it will help someone else :)

on a module:

It could be the nature of the code that it is executed synchronously, meaning all other processes are suspended until current code completion.
