Email from Access without Outlook

[lbigk]

Hello all,

I am trying to automate a notification process to the manager that a record has been updated and ready for review. My problem is that the company is using Web Based email and Outlook or Outlook Express will not be configured on any of the workstations. Is there any other way to send an emal from Access.

Thank you,

lbigk

Access isn't an email application. Have you tried your application on a web based email PC?

I am using a Web enabled Access Database to send email through ASP CDONTS.

My database will send email messages out based on data that is entered into the database.

You would need to have IIS on the PC with the access database and you would have the database hit an ASP page that would generate your message.

This certainly complicates things.. since you now need to have IIS as well as ASP experience.
