Using Access 2007, Windows XP Pro

We have a form that automatically generates an email to specific people,
based on the information collected by the form.

A number of our users who will fill out the form do not have Outlook on
their computers; instead they use OWA and even then only sporadically. They
all have Exchange mailboxes, though.

Is it possible to send an email or alert to a recipient's email address
without the sender having Outlook or OWA open? Some of these users will go
months without checking their mailboxes, and these messages will just be
sitting in their Outboxes until then.

Thanks for any help.

From my understanding, Exchange is just and older version of Outlook (lots of
thing are the same in both). I think your code should work fine with
Exchange. Unfortunatly, I don't know OWA so I can't tell but I created a
database that use Lotus Notes to send e-mail.

You will find info about it there : http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/email.htm

I hope it will help you.
