Troubleshoot the SendObject method
For some reason, when I use the SendObject method in my database, I can use
it once, but then must leave the database and reenter for it to work again. Got any suggestions as to why this might be happening and how I can correct it? |

Hi Nikky,
SYMPTOMS When you use the SendObject method in Microsoft Access 2000 to send an e-mail message, you may experience any one of the following symptoms: The SendObject method silently fails. The message is not sent, and you do not receive any error message or any notification that the message was not sent. You may receive the following error message: This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor. When you click Details (on Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition, press ALT+D), you receive the following message: MSACCESS.EXE caused an invalid page fault in KERNEL32.DLL at 0137:bff78040. NOTE: The actual memory address may vary. You may receive the following error message: Run-time error '2501': The SendObject action was canceled. You may receive the following error message: Runtime Error 2487 "The object type argument for the action or method is blank or invalid" You receive the following error message: Runtime Error 2958 "Reserved error" CAUSE This problem may occur if either of the following conditions is true: There are too many characters in the message. This behavior has been documented with messages that contain between 70 characters and 2268 characters. Note This number may be higher or lower on each computer. The SendObject method runs more than one time in a procedure. RESOLUTION To correct this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft Office 2000. For additional information about how to obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft Office 2000, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 276367 How to obtain the latest Office 2000 service pack Important Before you install Microsoft Office 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP-3), you must have Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1/1a (SR-1/SR-1a) installed first. For additional information about how to obtain Office 2000 Service Release 1/1a (SR-1/SR-1a), click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 245025 How to obtain and install the Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1/SR-1a Update WORKAROUND To work around this problem, use one of the following resolutions: Reduce the message length. Note This resolution works only for the first condition that is described in the "Cause" section. The remaining resolutions work for either condition that is described in the "Cause" section. When you only have to send a message without attaching Access objects, send the message by automating the Outlook object library or the Collaborative Data Objects (CDO) object library. Note If you installed Microsoft Outlook in the Internet Mail Only (IMO) mode, you cannot use CDO and MAPI. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 252720 MAPI and CDO are not supported in Outlook IMO mode For additional information about sending a message by using the Microsoft Outlook object library, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 161088 Using automation to send a Microsoft Outlook message When you have to attach Access objects to a message, use the following sample Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) procedure to work around this problem.

Open the sample database Northwind.mdb. On the Insert menu, click Class Module. A new, blank class module opens in the Visual Basic environment. On the Tools menu, click References. In the References dialog box, click to select the Microsoft CDO 1.21 Library check box. If this object library is not listed in the References dialog box, click Browse, and then search for the Cdo.dll file. On a computer that is running Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows 98, this file is typically found in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\95 folder. On a computer that is running Microsoft Windows NT or Microsoft Windows 2000, this file is typically found in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\NT folder. If you do not find the Cdo.dll file on your computer, restart the Office 2000 Setup program, click Add/Remove Features, and then set the Collaboration Data Objects to Run from My Computer under Microsoft Outlook for Windows.

Set the Name property to accSendObject. On the Insert menu, click Module. This adds a new, standard module to your VBA project. Add the following code to the module: Sub SendMail() Dim clsSendObject As accSendObject Dim strMsg As String Set clsSendObject = New accSendObject strMsg = String(3000, "a") clsSendObject.SendObject acSendReport, "Alphabetical list of products", accOutputSNP, _ "SomeEmailName", , , "This is a test subject", strMsg, True Set clsSendObject = Nothing End Sub In the code, replace SomeEmailName with a valid e-mail address. On the Debug menu, click Compile Project Name. On the File menu, click Save Project Name. To test this procedure, type the following line in the Immediate window, and then press ENTER: SendMail The code sends an e-mail message with the "Alphabetical list of products" report attached as a snapshot file. Usage and Limitations This sample code is designed to function as closely as possible to the DoCmd.SendObject method in Access. The syntax for calling the DoCmd.SendObject method is similar to calling the SendObject method in Access. The DoCmd.SendObject method has a limitation. The DoCmd.SendObject method is designed to output objects only in text format (.txt), rich text format (.rtf), Excel format (.xls), or snapshot format (.snp). If you try to output objects in other formats, you receive an error. Note This code has only been tested by using Microsoft Outlook as the MAPI client. The code may not work with other MAPI-enabled mail applications. We do not support the use of this sample code with third-party MAPI applications. STATUS Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Access 2000. MORE INFORMATION Steps to reproduce the problem Start Access 2000. Open the sample database Northwind.mdb. Create a new module, and then type the following line in the Declarations section, if it is not already the Option Explicit Type the following procedu Sub SendObjectTest() Dim strMsg As String 'Set the string variable to hold 3000 of the letter a. strMsg = String(3000, "a") DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, , , "SomeEmailName", , , "Message Subject", strMsg, False End Sub In the code, replace SomeEmailName with a valid e-mail name. To test this procedure, type the following line in the Immediate window, and then press ENTER:SendObjectTest You may receive any one of the symptoms that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;260819 Please let me know has this helped You...
