[AccessD] email from outlook

John,

  The way I do it and have seen most others is that I *require* an SMTP
server to send notifications.  If the client doesn't have one, then they
don't get e-mail notifications.

  I send directly to an SMTP server because I never can be sure what e-mail
client is installed.  I've worked in environments with Lotus Notes, Outlook,
Thunderbird, etc; just too many different clients to worry about.

  SMTP is a standard, which will always be the same for basic message
sending.

  To do that, I've always used vbSendMail.

Jim.

Subject: [AccessD] email from outlook

I know this has gone around many times and I hang my head in shame to even
ask again, but is there a "no brainer, no nonsense" way to send email from
VBA code, that will just work, without needing to have any specific email
client installed.
 
In the past I have always used MS Outlook, simply because that is installed
at all of my clients, however I am working on my framework book and need
something that anyone anywhere can "just use".  It should have the typical
From/To/Subject/message and also be able to attach files to it.
 
TIA,
