Email feedback

I got to thinking about how to make it easier for folks to send me feedback good, bad or ugly.   And I realized it would be quite simple.  While my software does have SMTP email code this requires users to configure the system for their email account, SMTP server, etc, etc.  So I decided to use their current email client.

EmailFeedback

The code behind the buttons is ridiculously easy.

The first button:

DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, , , TechSupportEmailAddress, , , _
    "Granite Fleet Mgr comments", , True

Where TechSupportEmailAddress is a global constant that has my email address in it.

The second button uses the the API code from API: Copy variables/control contents to memory and has the following single line.

Call ClipBoard_SetText(TechSupportEmailAddress)

I should've done this a long time ago.   And it's quite easy to drop into other systems so I'll be including it from now on whenever I build a custom system for someone.
