How to make Access to send an e-mail without using outlook.

[Ricardo de Mila]

Hello everybody...

I'd like to know how to make Access to send an e-mail without using the Outlook or similar program.
Sorry if this has been already covered somewhere else but I really didn't find it.

Any way... Thank you very, very much.

Best Regards

Hi Seth...
Is it possible to send an e-mail just using Access? I mean... I don't want use outlook and don't want to use Gmail or similars neither.
I'd like to have Access sending the e-mail straight from itself.
Is it possible?

Best regards

If you have an Exchange server or some other email server, then yes.

Is it possible to create a Exchange or email server in VBA under Access?

[Seth Schrock]

Not that I'm aware of.

Access is not an email server nor does it have the native capability to be one. The best you can do is use the CDO transport as already suggested, BTW: This isn't a GMail specific object.

Using the Bytes.com search tool key words:
Access CDO EMail

Will turn up several threads covering a great deal of how to do this.
