Send mail by CDO and attachments

41 New Member
Hi, Access 2003. I have a DB that contains deadlines data. I have the DB set up to create a report for each person that has deadline within a certain time frame. I need to automate the DB so an email is sent when a report exists but an email is not sent if there is no report for people. I have CDO code that works great except for the do not send part. The following is that part of the code. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I guess I'm not understanding where the problem lies. You say you have the database set up to only generate a report when there exists a deadline, then why do you want to not fire the code when there is no report? How are you calling the code to begin with?

The DB runs a query for each of the program folks that could or could not have deadlines. If they have a deadline, a report is created. If they don't a report is not generated. My code is currently saying create and email and send the attachment to that person then it calls code for the next person and so on. If one of the people (I call about 15 subs) does not have a report to attach, I do not want an email going out to them. Hope that clarifies things. I can do it when not using CDO but want to use CDO so I don't get the Outlook warnings.
Hope you can help out. I don't get why that one part of the code that should stop the sending doesn't work.

Maybe you can see something I'm missing.

Throw in a
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Debug.Print Attach
in about line 18, just for grins and chuckles. I'm interested to see what value you will get if there is no report to attach.

You haven't included the section of code where you declare the variables used here, but I'm suspecting that you should be checking for a null value as well as 0 for your variable Attach. Something like

Hi,

I added the Debug.Print and didn't get any response. I also tried

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  If Attach = 0 Or IsNull(Attach) Then
  2.       Cancel = True
  3.       Else: .Send
  4.       End If 
and it doesn't work weither or not there is an attachment.

Here are my variables:

Dim iConf
Dim Flds
Dim strHTML
Dim Attach

I appreciate your help!

The lack of apparent response means that you are passing a null value into the Attach variable. (You're immediate window should show at the bottom of the vba editor window... If passed a null value, Debug.Print has nothing to print to the immediate window, and so all you will likely see is the cursor moving one line...) Since it's a null value, you should be able to delete the Attach = 0 part, leaving only the IsNull(Attach) part.

Why not try re-writing this to something like the following:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. If Not IsNull(Attach) Then
  2.   .Send
  3. Else
  4. End If

Thanks again, Scott, but it sends whether or not there is an attachment. Any other ideas?

Please post the whole Subroutine, starting from top ending at bottom. When you paste it into this reply window, wrap it in code tags by selecting all the code text, clicking the # button, and then manually edit the first code tag to look just like this: [code=vb]

A couple of things that occur to me also here.

1: You should probably rename the Attach variable to something like MyAttach, since I think Attach is a reserved word.

2: just making sure that your references are set correctly: if you go into Tools>Reference s which CDO library do you have checked? Should be Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000 Library. (I'm almost certain that you'll have this reference, since I don't think the earlier versions of CDO supported HTML messages, but please check anyway... You never know :-).

3: How are you determining who gets the attachment and who does not? It doesn't appear to me in this section of code. Somewhere you will have to pass the email addresses of the people who are to receive the email+attachmen t to this function...

4. Will it mess up the flow of your function if you put the .Send command just after your Set Attach = .AddAttachment "..." line?

Scott
