I'm on a Windows XP Pro System using M.S. Access 2003 and Lotus Notes 6.5.
I provide adhoc and ancillary reports to our user community.
We now have to send a hotspot to the users to inform them where their Excel files can be
found. I created an agent that will send an email to a specific user, and display on the screen
the path and file name as a link. This works great.
I called the AGENT: MY_HOTSPOT_AGENT
Now I need to find a way to Call an agent from Access code and also be able to pass as
variables the StrRecipients, StrSubject and StrHTML strings. See code below. This way I can
programmatically send to any recipient, alter the subject accordingly and modify the StrHTML
sting to send the file that the recipient is expecting to recive.
Can an AGENT be envoked from Access? Can variables be passed from Access? Do I need
to make any modifications to the properties of the agent? Can you provide an example of the
Access code that I will need?. Please view below my AGENT code.
Thanks in advance for your help.
