    Hello,

    I have managed to create a reservation application (very basic) for my use, I have a database, which I connect to from the application (it is not bound to the application) This works very well, but I am now revisiting the code as I am fed up of going to word to print and save invoices.  I wish to have three extra forms within the application, one for guest details, which are passed to form 2 to be printed as an invoice (this I can do), the trouble I am having is with form 3, I can create form 3 with details passed from form 2, but need to email this form to the guest as a receipt.  Can anyone tell me how to do this.  I have googled and googled, have found lots of code but cannot work out how to do this using Outlook Express.  I would like to email the form itself.  I have tried passing the details into the body of an email code which didn't work.  Can this be done?  Hope you can help.  Thanks

    Hi sueoldgirl,

    I don't know how to specifically send an email through Outlook Express, but I usually send emails like this:

    Imports System.Net.Mail

Public Class Mail

Private Sub SendEmail()
        Dim mail As New Net.Mail.MailMessage
        mail.From = New MailAddress("yourMail", "yourName")
        mail.To.Add("example@email.com")

        mail.BodyEncoding = System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8

        mail.Subject = "This is a test!"
        mail.Body = "This is the body of your email. It can be the form details you need, like this:" & vbcrlf & 
        TextBoxDetail1.Text & vbcrlf & 
        TextBoxDetail2.Text & vbcrlf & 
        "... and so on!"

        Dim TheSmtp As New SmtpClient("yourSmtp", yourPort)
        TheSmtp.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential("yourMail", "yourPassword")

        TheSmtp.SendAsync(mail, vbNull)
End Sub

End Class



    Hope I helped a bit!

    Hi sueoldgirl,

    Welcome to the MSDN forum.

    This queue is about Visual Basic Express Edition. I’m afraid that your topic about Outlook Express is unsuitable here. For better support, I will move this thread to “where is the forum for…” forum.

    You also can check this link to find more support options:  http://support.microsoft.com/gp/outlook-express

    Sorry for any inconvenience and have a nice day.
