MS ACCESS / COPY FORM DATA

Anonymous
2022-06-16T15:07:00+00:00

I have a MS ACCESS database the searches then displays several fields on the screen. Although not
necessary, I would like to be able to copy all these fields and attached them in an e-mail. Currently,

MS Access only allows me to copy one field at a time, which is a pain. For example:

Ref # Description Price
1 Yellow Toy 300
A Table 650
5 Relay 1890

So, each line / Field comes from a select query and displays this information. As a

result, I cannot copy all this information at once and paste it in an e-mail. Any clues
on how to perform this are appreciated!

    The best way would be to do a report, export the report to PDF and attach to your e-mail. Alternatively you can export the Recordsource of the form to Excel and either copy and paste from Excel or attach it.

    You can create a simple report based on a query and then attach the report to an email as a PDF document.  For an example of how to do this take a look at InvoicePDF.zip in my public databases folder at:

    This little demo file includes an options to email a single or multiple invoices (the report) as PDF files using the SendObject method of the DoCmd method.
