I am looking for a way to send a text message using VBA out of Access.

I created a program using Access and VBA that runs many times a day. I have used proper error handeling so that errors are logged, but I am not able to monitor the program all day long. When an error is logged, I would like for it to send me a text message showing that there was an error while processing.

Is there code out there that will allow me to generate a text message?

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Why not using the SendObject method ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

What I meant to ask; can I send a text message to my cell phone?

This will allow me to monitor for errors while away from the office. If I do not receive any error messages during the day, I know I will not need to return to the office to check for or correct any errors before heading home.

Again thank you for any help on this subject.
 
You need to find out how to send an email to your cell phone (which will receive it as a text message)

Ex:

For my wireless provider it is 1234567890@vtext.com

Just the ten digit number, no 1 before the area code (if US).

You can then use CDO to send an email to this address, just make sure it is nothing too long / fancy so that it all gets there.

Hope this helps,

Alex
