New Features in Total Access Emailer version X.6 for Microsoft Access 2007, 2003, 2002, and 2000!

Automatically compress all your file attachments into one zip file that is emailed to your recipient. You can even add a password for additional security. These features are on the Attachment tab when editing an email blast:

The name of the zip file and password can be explicitly provided (example above) or use values from fields in your data source to create a unique file name and password for each recipient:

Total Access Emailer supports text and HTML emails containing non-Roman, international characters including double byte characters such as:

• Arabic: النص العربي
• Chinese: 中文文本
• Greek: Ελληνικό Κείμενο
• Hebrew: עברית טקסט
• Hindi: हिंदी पाठ
• Japanese: 日本語テキスト
• Korean: 한국어 텍스트
• Persian: متن فارسی
• Russian: Русский текст
• Urdu: اردو متن

An example of a Continuous Emailer Service is provided to support a table driven system to continuously send emails within your Microsoft Access application. New emails can be added to the table manually or triggered by another action in the application for e.g. new order, due date, etc. When the database opens, you can open the form automatically through an Autoexec macro or naming the form as the startup form.

The new Code Generator lets you interactively select options and build the VBA code to run the currently selected email blast in your application. Simply set your options and paste the code into your module to send and/or preview your email blast.

Several new VBA functions are available in the Professional Version to provide more options and control for VBA developers. For additional details, visit Sending Microsoft Access Email Blasts Programmatically (VBA):

Send One Email

Rather than creating an email blast from the Total Access Emailer add-in, a new function, TotalAccessEmailer_SendOne, lets you specify the information for sending one email. Provide the FROM address, TO address, subject, message, etc., and the email is sent using your SMTP settings.

Preview Email Blasts

In addition to sending email blasts, you can also preview the emails by sending them to an email of your choice along with the number of records to process. This is similar to the interactive Preview feature from the add-in which you can now incorporate in your application.

Update and Test SMTP Settings

Two new procedures, TotalAccessEmailer_SetPasswords and TotalAccessEmailer_SMTP_IsValid, let you specify the passwords and test the SMTP settings. The sample database includes a form you can import into your application to give your users this feature as well.

The Professional Version of Total Access Emailer includes a VBA programmatic interface that lets you add email blasts to your Access applications and distribute them royalty-free.

Version x.6 includes new files for the Access add-in. It also has new runtime library files:

• The Access 2007 version includes an ACCDE runtime library for ACCDB databases, and an MDE library for MDB databases for Access 2003 and 2007 users
• The Access 2003 version includes a runtime library for Access 2002-2003 database formats, and another library for Access 2000 and 2002 users
• The Access 2000 and 2002 versions include one runtime library that support Access 2000 and 2002.

Silent Installations

When deploying the runtime version of Total Access Emailer, the executable program to run on the user’s machine can now be invoked without the user seeing it. Use the silent command line parameter "/s" when running TAERun32.EXE.

Total Access Emailer comes in versions specific to each version of Microsoft Access.
