I have about a month of experience with Access and zero VBA.
Building a candidate tracking database for HR department. Need help with the
following questions. Can Macros be built to do these functions?

1. Send an Email directly from Access?
2. Map a field in the record with the Email address to automatically
populate the send to field in the open message?
3. Automatically Email or attach a unique word or HTML document which is
attached to an individual record by a hyperlink?
4.Track Email activity relevant to contacts generated through Access within
the database itself?

Take a look at what Tony Toews has at
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/email.htm

I'm not sure it'll be possible to use macros for everything you want.
However, it's better to use VBA anyhow: macros don't let you put in error
checking.
