Hi Gaz,
thanks for not giving up on me. I tried the run as admin thing yesterday: Still no luck.
BUT the good news is that I got Access working. I removed Office 2007 sand Thunderbird before removing (almost) all references to both programmes in the registry. Then I rebooted, installed the complete Office 2007 package, rebooted, installed TB, rebooted again and tried the database. It worked!!!🥳.
I’ll keep...

Hi Gaz,
I tried to run sfc:scannow and it didm't run. I got this messdage: "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
Am trying the uninstall / reinstall / DISM procedure shortly. Again, I'll let you know.
I have written to TB support and have some ideas from the community (is this what they offer as technical help?), none of which have proven helpful (yet).

Gaz,
True, it’s beyond me. But, if I’m hearing you correctly, it might be because you have Outlook installed?? Do you think that I should reinstahl the entire Office 2007 program, including Outlook? I don’t want to use it, though.

Wow, Gaz! A lot of that went straight over my head🤔.
Anyway, actually, no, I haven’t run those commands, but I will when I return tomorrow (?).
I’ll let you know. Thanks.

Dear Isladogs,
Thanks for this. I’ll certainly look at it when I return in a couple of days. Oh, and I’ll have a detailed look at the link that you sent. I really appreciate the help and different approach.Leave a comment:

Hi Isladogs,
If I can’t find a solution, I’ll try this work around. There are advantages to using the Send object method such as saving a copy of all sent emails, business letterhead capability etc.
Thanks for the idea.Leave a comment:

Hi NeoPa,
Great minds think alike😊. I did that this morning, removing TB and every mention of TB from the registry that I could find. I then reinstalled TB 32 Bit.
Same problem 😔. Needless to say, I’m feeling a little hopeless.
Any other ideas?

Hi Gaz,
Yes, I’m with you- not sure where to go. But I will contact the tech help for thunderbird and see what, if anything, they may be able to help me with.
A very big thank you to you!

Hi Gaz,
Thanks. We all have to sleep! After my last response, I followed directions to modify the registry and succeeded in getting the right click action to work. However, still no joy in finding a solution to the original problem.
While dwelling on the issue whilst trying to sleep, I remembered that when I had this problem years ago, I added some object library to access (via the VBA-tools menu) and I think that was the solution....Leave a comment:

Oh, one more thing…
When I try to right click and send as email, the message I get is “these files can’t be emailed because there is no email program on this computer install an email program and try again”. But, as I said, Thunderbird is installed and TB is listed as the default email client....Leave a comment:

Hi Gaz,
Sorry, I completely missed that one. I just tried right-click/send to (mail) and … it didnt work. I checked to see what the default email client is, and it lists TB. Strange!!
And, yes, the machine has been restarted many times. I rebuilt it about 3 weeks ago and have been trying to solve this ever since🤔.
What do you think?

Hi Gaz,
Thanks for responding so quickly.
Yes, TB is the default email client in Windows.
Yes, the machine computer aus running TB 32 Bit and Access 2007 only had the 32 Bit architecture. I tried running the 64 Bit version of TB, but got the same problem. Then I went back to the 32 Bit Version of TB. The two machines are similar except the „working“machin e is running office 2013 and the corresponding version of Outlook....Leave a comment:

Hi Mycinegisters,
Any hints??? I checked out your blogs and didn’t find anything that looked related to my issue.

Hi Gaz,
Yes, that’s my understanding, and exactly the reason for my problem. Previously, I had no problems with SendObject negotiating with Thunderbird. Now, however, after the rebuild, something is presumably different and I don’t know what it is.

Hi NeoPa,
Thanks for answering. Yes, I have and everything checks out. The error appears only when the SendObject is attempted. All variables are valid. Also, it works on another machine, and also worked seamlessly prior to the rebuild.
I remember having this issue about 1 year ago and I found a solution, but have no idea what it was. How silly that I didn’t record the solution.

Sending email with attachment using Sendobject & Thunderbird client
Hi. I'm running win 10 (updated to most recent).
I've recently rebuilt my computer and have reinstalled Access 2007 and a split database. In the front-end there is a script to email a message to multiple recipients. I select the recipients from a list and click a "send" button, intending to send it as an email in Thunderbird. I'm using the standard Sendobject code.
It used to work and now doesn't. The same database is used...
