Adding active control to email via VBA/Access

May 18th, 2005 - 04:32 pm ET by Dennis | Report spam
I need to send an email to users, populated with instructions and a link for
them to click, which will open an Access front-end, and pre-populate the open
form with certain things, based on what link the receiver clicked. Ideally, I
would like to embed a pair of buttons into the email to facilitate this.

Can I do this in text-email-format, or do I have to use HTML?

Also, I need to change the FROM on these emails from the person sending them
to the "IT Helpdesk". How can I do that?

Thanks!!

Which "that" are you referring to -- custom forms or Exchange?

I'm not sure what that is. Could you perhaps brief me on that?

Thanks!

You can't do this with HTML, because Outlook doesn't run scripts in HTML messages. If you're working in an Exchange environment, you'd have the option of using an Outlook custom form.
