Hi,

I need to send the content of a form, (about 6 controls / fields from a single form)via Lotus Notes email to a static recipient. I can hard code the recipient, but the data sent changes based on what has been entered into the form.

I found the following code from jmeadows7, but he has not been in th Forum for over a year.

This code will send an email, but I need to know how to modify it so it pulls in the content of the form, and not the hard coded text.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

'Set up the objects required for Automation into lotus notes
Dim Maildb As Object 'The mail database
Dim UserName As String 'The current users notes name
Dim MailDbName As String 'THe current users notes mail database name
Dim MailDoc As Object 'The mail document itself
Dim AttachME As Object 'The attachment richtextfile object
Dim Session As Object 'The notes session
Dim EmbedObj As Object 'The embedded object (Attachment)
'Start a session to notes
Set Session = CreateObject("Notes.NotesSession")
'Get the sessions username and then calculate the mail file name
'You may or may not need this as for MailDBname with some systems you
'can pass an empty string
UserName = Session.UserName
MailDbName = Left$(UserName, 1) & Right$(UserName, (Len(UserName) - InStr(1, UserName, " "))) & ".nsf"
'Open the mail database in notes
Set Maildb = Session.GETDATABASE("", MailDbName)
If Maildb.ISOPEN = True Then
'Already open for mail
Else
Maildb.OPENMAIL
End If
'Set up the new mail document
Set MailDoc = Maildb.CREATEDOCUMENT
MailDoc.Form = "Memo"
MailDoc.sendto = Recipient
MailDoc.Subject = Subject
MailDoc.Body = BodyText
MailDoc.SAVEMESSAGEONSEND = SaveIt
'Set up the embedded object and attachment and attach it
If Attachment <> "" Then
Set AttachME = MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM("Attachment")
Set EmbedObj = AttachME.EMBEDOBJECT(1454, "", Attachment, "Attachment")
MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM ("Attachment")
End If
'Send the document
MailDoc.PostedDate=Now() 'Gets the mail to appear in the sent items folder
MailDoc.SEND 0, Recipient
'Clean Up
Set Maildb = Nothing
Set MailDoc = Nothing
Set AttachME = Nothing
Set Session = Nothing
Set EmbedObj = Nothing
End Sub

If you need to send to multiple people or carbon copy etc:

MailDoc.sendto = Recipient
MailDoc.CopyTo = ccRecipient
MailDoc.BlindCopyTo = bccRecipient


Also for multiple email addresses you just set MailDoc.sendto to an array of variants for each person to receive a copy.

Dim recip(25) as variant

recip(0) = "emailaddress1"
recip(1) = "emailaddress2" e.t.c

maildoc.sendto = recip

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Esentially I need the MailDoc.Body = BodyText to pull in to the email as the strings from the form.

I promise to 'Star' you if you help me out!!!
 
Hey BooleYah,

Take alook at this FAQ faq702-2921.

Im sure if you declare Memo, recipient, Subject and BodyText as a string then assigned each one to your equivalent textbox on your form like

recipient = Me!TEXTBOXNAME

then place

MailDoc.sendto = recipient

that should do it but follow this FAQ and you should be fine.
