Distributing Total Access Emailer

Do you want to include email capabilities to applications you distribute to others? No problem! The Professional Version of Total Access Emailer includes a programmatic interface to run email blasts programmatically from your applications, and distribute them to all your users Royalty-Free!

Best of all, it's extremely easy to use since all the complicated email blast specifications (data source, message format, field references, send options, etc.) can be defined and tested through the interactive Wizard. Programmatically, you simply need to reference the ID of the specifications.

Add Email to Your Access Application

Just follow these three simple steps to give your users the power to run email blasts at the touch of a button:

1. Define and test your email blast using the interactive Wizard interface.
2. Add a reference to the Total Access Emailer library from your database.
3. Add the Total Access Emailer function and reference the email ID you created in step 1.

For instance, all you need to add to your program to run email blast number 25 is this function call:

TotalAccessEmailer(25, False, "", "", True, True)

The function returns a blank string if successful or an error string if a problem was encountered.

Distributing the Total Access Emailer Runtime

The Professional Version of Total Access Emailer includes a small setup program that distributes and registers the Total Access Emailer runtime. This program automatically installs and registers the Total Access Emailer redistributable files, along with its dependencies. Deployment couldn't be easier. Just run the setup on your users' machines, and they're ready to use your application!

A separate runtime version is available for your Microsoft Access version:

• Access 2010, 64 bit version
• Access 2010, 32 bit version

• Access 2003

The runtime for Microsoft Access 2002/XP or Access 2003 works with database files in Access 2000 and Access 2002/2003 formats.

Microsoft Access 2007 and 2010 Database Format Support

Total Access Emailer 2007 and 2010 includes a runtime library in ACCDE format to support your ACCDB databases. For MS Access 2010, libraries for 32 and 64 bit versions are included.

An additional runtime library is provided in MDE format to support Access MDB and ADP databases. This is a digitally signed library that can also be distributed to MS Access 2003 users, who of course would not be able to use the Access 2007 and 2010 features.
