Hi Hans!

The first part I’ve got done At least that much I remembered.

The second part is what I’m having trouble setting up. You wouldn’t happen to have links to examples for that?

Thanks!

Thanks, Hans!

Sometimes I think my brain isn’t screwed all the way in.

Hi Hans,

For some reason, Recordcount doesn’t update when it’s a user applied filter by form. It works fine if the filter is set in code, though. I originally used a label when I was using code (because I got all sorts of can’t update unless control has focus type errors using a textbox), but in the final solution I used the textbox just as you suggested.

Thanks!!!

Ah, I answered my own question. Please feel free to delete this if it’s redundant.

I put a textbox on the main form with the following code and it seems to work (albeit a bit more slowly than with code):

=DCount(“NewID”,Forms!frmApplications.frmTrack.Form.RecordSource,Forms!frmApplications.frmTrack.Form.Filter)

Hey Wendell!

Sorry for the late reply. It turned out that my problem was that I had my Outlook set for RTF, but was using Word as the editor. Once I had plain old RTF, I was good to go.

Now if only I can find a setting to programagically turn off Word as my email editor, I’d be set.

As usual, Hans, you are my Savior! My Knight in Shining Armor!!!

You have no idea how many combinations of replyto’s and from’s I’ve tried…. Well, maybe you do *grin*

Since my text is all in a table and broken up depending on where the next attachment should go, it should be easy enough to count the characters between attachments.

Thank you so much!

Update: I can’t seem to get the position thing to work properly. It’s still attaching at the end of the email. If you have any suggestions, that would be fabulous, but at least the important part is working!

Here’s my code:

With objOutlookMsg
.Body = DLookup(“EmailText1”, “tblEmailData”)
i = Len(.Body)
Set objOutlookAttach = .Attachments.Add(“myfile.mdb”)
objOutlookAttach.Position = i
End with

Ah, sorry, all the name changing has got me confused.

Still don’t know what was wrong with the name Firebird.

In any case, I meant that Mozilla thingy over at mozilla.org

Thanks again!

Thanks. It doesn’t help, but at least I now know I should stop looking for something that isn’t there.

I’m going to try my best to convince him to move to Firefox.

Hi unkamunka,

Unfortunately, I don’t know a whole lot about it (this is actually for a friend). In 2000, we were able to click the SendTo in Word and have Earthlink mail open, but under XP, we can’t do it. I have the Earthlink mail set as default in the Earthlink software, but IE doesn’t “see” Earthlink as an option in its settings. I tried dealing with Earthlink tech support and they want me to just manually attach my Word documents, but that’s not what I want to do.

I think the issue may have to do with the software being a complete “bottled” package (TotalAccess is what they call it), that is, there isn’t a separate email client. It’s probably more about the MAPI recognition, too. Do you know of any way to force a MAPI client to be recognized?

Well, I tried the whole system file checker thing. I replaced a number of dlls, some of which apparently are not on my Win98SE cd (gdi32.dll, setupx.dll, kernel32.dll). I’m still getting the Kernel32.dll error (The setup.exe is linked to missing export kernel32.dll). I didn’t know about the registry fix thing but will try later today.

At this point, I’m pulling my hair out and considering just reinstalling the OS. Uggggh.
