I am trying to send a report to a mail with the following command
‘ Open the report
DoCmd.OpenReport “rptSchedule”, acViewPreview, , strWhereCondition
DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, “rptSchedule”, acFormatSNP, “dummy@gmail.com “, , , “Furniture”, , False
However i get the following message :
Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfil the messaging request.Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client
What does it mean and how can i avoit that since i have not installed Microsoft Outlook. Can i still work with this command ?

You don’t need Outlook, but you do need a functioning email programme on the computer being used.
Access does not send email, but uses the default email programme.

Do you use Internet Explorer? If so look in there at Tools… Internet Options…Email
