asked on

take current email text PLUS recordset and make it into HTML

Access 2010 vba
outlook vba via access

based on previous q:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28965360/Sending-email-using-a-query-based-on-a-value-from-a-subform-produces-error.html

The following is grabbing  text I create from values on my MAIN form.
AND
displaying values from a subform that is in a recordset.

What I need:
I would like to display the whole thing now in html:
BUT
specifically put the data from the subform(rs)  into  a HTML table to make it look better ?

Dim MyDB As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim qd As DAO.QueryDef
Dim price_escNum As String
Dim esc_Quote As String
Dim esc_AccountNumber As String
Dim esc_AccountName As String
Dim SELLER_NAME As String
Dim DSM_NAME As String


' outlook parameters set
price_escNum = Me!PRICING_ESCALATION_ID
esc_Quote = Me!QUOTE_NUMBER
esc_AccountNumber = Me!ACCOUNT_NUMBER
esc_AccountName = Me!ACCOUNT_NAME
SELLER_NAME = Me!SELLER_NAME
DSM_NAME = Me!DSM_NAME


' get the subform data now
Set MyDB = CurrentDb
Set qd = MyDB.QueryDefs("Query_FOR_HTML")
qd.Parameters!ENTERVALUE = [Forms]![Main]![dbo_t_redbook_pricing_escalation_detail_subform]![RBP_MASTER_ID]
Set rst = qd.OpenRecordset


With rst
  Do While Not .EOF
    Mailbody = Mailbody & ![SKU] & " | " & ![QTY] & " | " & ![TARGET_PRICE] & vbCrLf
   .MoveNext
  Loop
End With

' create the email with the subform data
Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application
   Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem
   Dim strPath As String
   Dim strFileName As String
   Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
   Set MailOutLook = appOutLook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
      
   With MailOutLook
     .BodyFormat = olFormatRichText
     .To = "xxxxell@xxxxxer.com"
     '.CC = ""
     '.bcc = ""
     .Subject = "Action Required - Pricing Escalation #'" & escNum & "'"
     
     .Body = "Please review the request and advise if you support." & vbCrLf & " " & vbCrLf & _
       "Request #:'" & price_escNum & "'" & vbCrLf & _
       "Quote #:'" & esc_Quote & "'" & vbCrLf & _
       "Account #:'" & esc_AccountNumber & "'" & vbCrLf & _
       "Account Name:'" & esc_AccountName & "'" & vbCrLf & _
       "Seller Name:'" & SELLER_NAME & "'" & vbCrLf & _
       "DSM Name:'" & DSM_NAME & "'" & vbCrLf & _
       "Please Note one or more of the Target Prices is below cost" & vbCrLf _

yes, Thanks will let you know how it goes.
nick67, One small piece left.

I'm trying to put a salutation after my table

I have "text"  ,  table , then i need a salutation under the html table.
Cant get it to work.

MAILBODY is my html table...fyi


mybody = "Please Review the request and advise if you support.<br><br>"
   
   mybody = mybody & "Request #:'" & price_escNum & "' <br>" & _
    "Quote #:'" & esc_Quote & "'<br>" & _
    "Account #:'" & esc_AccountNumber & "'<br>" & _
    "Account Name:'" & esc_AccountName & "'<br>" & _
    "Seller Name:'" & SELLER_NAME & "'<br>" & _
    "DSM Name:'" & DSM_NAME & "'<br><br>" & _
    "Please Note one or more of the Target Prices is below cost.<br><br>"
   
       
   mybody2 = "Sincerely,"
   mybody2 = mybody2 & "The CSP Quotations Team."


 .BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
     .HTMLBody = mybody & MAILBODY
     .HTMLBody = .HTMLBody & mybody2
Cant get it to work.

That's fairly generic for a problem description <grin>
Remember it ALL has to be syntactically correct HTML

  mybody2 = "Sincerely,"
    mybody2 = mybody2 & "The CSP Quotations Team."

I don't see any tags in there, do you?
How's about:
  mybody2 = "<p>Sincerely,<br><br>"
    mybody2 = mybody2 & "The CSP Quotations Team.</p>"
Thanks..."cant get it to work"..
Yes, specifically, The "salutation" is embedded in the last cell of the table in the email.

It is not outside the table.

Ah.
Well it's HTML.
So if your salutation is in a cell then the part you posted is NOT where the problem lies
The HTML for a table
<table>
<tr><td> Table opens it, tr starts a row, td starts a cell </td></td>
<tr><td>  /tr ends a row, /td ends a cell and /table closes it </td></td>
</table>

Before your loop starts you need a
<table>
Your loop running through the recordset is going to create successive
<tr><td>stuff</td></td>
lines.  After the loop completes, you need
</table>

I think you don't have the closing table tag or perhaps the final three </td></tr></table> constructed quite right.
Post the code from where "<table>" to "</table>" is
code for table:

strhtml = "<HTML><Body><table border='1' width='50%'><tr><th>Sku</th><th>QTY</th>" & _
"<th>TARGET_PRICE</th><th>TARGET_GP</th><th>CURRENT_PRICE</th><th>CURRENT_GP</th><th>VENDOR_GUIDELINE_GP</th><th>APPROVED_PRICE</th><th>APPROVED_GP</th></tr>"

' Initialize Mailbody
MAILBODY = strhtml

With rst
  Do While Not .EOF
   ' Mailbody = Mailbody & ![SKU] & " | " & ![QTY] & " | " & ![TARGET_PRICE] & ![TARGET_GP] & " | " & ![CURRENT_PRICE] & " | " & ![CURRENT_GP] & " | " & ![VENDOR_GUIDELINE_GP] & " | " & ![APPROVED_PRICE] & " | " & ![APPROVED_GP] & vbCrLf
    MAILBODY = MAILBODY & "<tr><td>" & rst("SKU") & "</td><td>" & _
        rst("QTY") & "</td><td>" & rst("TARGET_PRICE") & "</td><td>" & _
        rst("TARGET_GP") & "</td><td>" & rst("CURRENT_PRICE") & "</td><td>" & rst("CURRENT_GP") & "</td><td>" & rst("VENDOR_GUIDELINE_GP") & "</td><td>" & rst("APPROVED_PRICE") & "</td><td>" & rst("APPROVED_GP") & "</td></tr>" & _
        vbCrLf
   .MoveNext
  Loop
End With

Sorry i do not know much html.
fordraiders
Ok.
Only with creating HTML for Outlook these tags are superfluous
<HTML><Body>
Here you open the table
strhtml = "<HTML><Body><table border='1' width='50%'>

And here you are building rows
MAILBODY = MAILBODY & "<tr><td>" ...  "</td></tr>"
The VBCrLf is superfluous.

But now, at the end you don't have a closing table tag

So try

strhtml = "<table border='1' width='50%'><tr><th>Sku</th><th>QTY</th>" & _
"<th>TARGET_PRICE</th><th>TARGET_GP</th><th>CURRENT_PRICE</th><th>CURRENT_GP</th><th>VENDOR_GUIDELINE_GP</th><th>APPROVED_PRICE</th><th>APPROVED_GP</th></tr>"

' Initialize Mailbody
MAILBODY = strhtml

With rst
  Do While Not .EOF
   ' Mailbody = Mailbody & ![SKU] & " | " & ![QTY] & " | " & ![TARGET_PRICE] & ![TARGET_GP] & " | " & ![CURRENT_PRICE] & " | " & ![CURRENT_GP] & " | " & ![VENDOR_GUIDELINE_GP] & " | " & ![APPROVED_PRICE] & " | " & ![APPROVED_GP] & vbCrLf
    MAILBODY = MAILBODY & "<tr><td>" & rst("SKU") & "</td><td>" & _
        rst("QTY") & "</td><td>" & rst("TARGET_PRICE") & "</td><td>" & _
        rst("TARGET_GP") & "</td><td>" & rst("CURRENT_PRICE") & "</td><td>" & rst("CURRENT_GP") & "</td><td>" & rst("VENDOR_GUIDELINE_GP") & "</td><td>" & rst("APPROVED_PRICE") & "</td><td>" & rst("APPROVED_GP") & "</td></tr>" 
   .MoveNext
  Loop
End With
</table>

Sorry i do not know much html.
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp

Probably the very best place to learn enough HTML to be dangerous.
Which is all you need for Outlook <grin>
nick , throws an error.
so i put the </table> tag  here:

mybody2 = "</table><p>Sincerely,<br><br>"
    mybody2 = mybody2 & "The CSP Quotations Team.</p>"

worked great.
Thanks for sticking with the question.
