Re: Starting e-mail from within Access

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Although you can use pop protocol for email with Outlook or other email
clients, I don't think you can with Yahoo, so what you need is to use the
http protocol to open a web page. With GMail that's:

https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&continue=http%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2F%3Fui%3Dhtml%26zy%3Dl&bsv=1k96igf4806cy&ltmpl=default&ltmplcache=2

and Yahoo, it's:

https://login.yahoo.com/

You will not be able to place text in a new email without logging in first.

So the answer to your question is: Only through a real email client can you
use an email function easily.

My programs master file has the customers e-mail address, I have set it up
so
if the user double clicks the e-mail address it starts outlook and I can
send
that user an e-mail. Is there a way to be able to have different e-mails
provider start? Some users use yahoo,gmail or some other provider. The
program I've written has a setup section that I could have the user enter
there e-mail provider but how would I get the program to use it. Thanks
for
any help.
