i've got my hands full with this next project, and i could use a couple leads to give me a jump start.
my final objective is to take each customer in our database and generate a report catered to them (using a where statement to filter for a certain characteristic) , pile all the filtered customers into the To: field (i can't find anything on how to include multiple recipients into the To: field), export the report into PDF as an attachment (i have access 2007 and have installed the optional PDF plug-in that allows access to export reports as such), and email them to the corresponding customer email using the CBO library (bypassing outlook).
i have most of the pieces of the puzzle except, as i mentioned earlier, inserting multiple recipients into the "To:" field of the email, and inserting text into the body of the email.
i think i'm set on the rest of it, but any tips concerning this project would be much appreciated.
thanks, guys

PS - major problem #1 (already haha) i thought i saw something earlier about setting up my email to be sent thru an smtp server. i thought i could do this using gmail but i'm starting to think i'm horribly wrong. am i going to need my own server to do this?
