Specify another address to send email from

[yetanotherjo]

Is it possible to send an email from an access form, but instead of defaulting it as coming from the current user, specify another email address ie. Joe Bloggs sends it as fred@company.com and John Smith also sends one as fred@company.com.

I think the current form sends the email using docmd.sendobject(?)...sorry, this is a second-hand question, I haven't actually seen the database myself.

You can't do this using native access code.

However you could acquire or write code in some other language and include it as a reference and use it.

Well! That's not what I wanted to hear, but thanks, lameid. Silly me was hoping something was going to be easy.

You can do it using SMTP, here's a link to an example.
