Single Quotes around email address create from a Macro in Access

you can eliminate them using the vba Replace function

Replace(vString,chr(39),"")

Hi Capricorn1,
                        Where would I use this function when I am just placing the email addresses in the macro using send output?

Ken

you can convert that macro into VBA codes. using VBA codes you will have more flexibility

Tools>Macro>convert macros to visual basic

after the conversion post the converted codes here and we will see where we could insert the Replace function

Why is that happening in the first place?  What does the macro do?

Thanks Capricorn1:

Below is the code:

Option Compare Database

'------------------------------------------------------------
' OrderExpressEmailPaidTransactions
'
'------------------------------------------------------------
Function OrderExpressEmailPaidTransactions()
On Error GoTo OrderExpressEmailPaidTransactions_Err

    DoCmd.OpenForm "OrderExpress Paid Dates", acNormal, "", "", , acNormal
    DoCmd.SendObject acReport, "Order Express Paid Transactions", "SnapshotFormat(*.snp)", "samuel.ramirez@orderexpress.com.mx;tesoreria@orderexpress.com.mx;martin.martinez@orderexpress.com.mx", "Kenneth.D.Rosak@citi.com;Jesus.Guerrero@citi.com;yescenia.c.arellano@citi.com;ariadna.b.ortiz@citi.com;celina.e.evans@citi.com", "", "Order Express Paid Transactions", "", False, ""
    DoCmd.Close acForm, "AFEX Paid Dates"
    DoCmd.Quit acExit


OrderExpressEmailPaidTransactions_Exit:
    Exit Function

OrderExpressEmailPaidTransactions_Err:
    MsgBox Error$
    Resume OrderExpressEmailPaidTransactions_Exit

End Function

My point is - with that sendobject command, there should not be any single quotes around individual email addresses.

DoCmd.SendObject [objecttype][, objectname][, outputformat][, to][, cc][, bcc][, subject][, messagetext][, editmessage][, templatefile]

It appears there should be nothing between the commas following the [cc].  Try removing the pair of double quotes leaving just two commas.

GRayL:
              You get a compile error if you remove the quotes.

Ken

Are you saying a compile error if you remove the empty double quotes between the two commas?

Yes GrayL

those quotes are required for the email addresses.
your codes looks good and i don't see anything that can cause the single quote to be inserted, the single quote must be generated by Outlook (not sure though)

can you post here the generated email addresses with single quotes.
