PublicSub SendEmail()
Dim EmailBody AsString
Dim toAddress AsNew Net.Mail.MailAddress(ThisForm.PrimaryIDOCollection .GetCurrentObjectProperty("your_email_field"))
Dim FromAddress AsNew Net.Mail.MailAddress("me@company.com", "Display Name")
EmailBody = "Some text:" & ThisForm.PrimaryIDOCollection.GetCurrentObjectProperty("some_property") & vbNewLine _
& "Some more stuff: " & vbNewLine & ThisForm.PrimaryIDOCollection.GetCurrentObjectProp erty("description")
Dim msg AsNew Net.Mail.MailMessage(FromAddress, toAddress)
msg.Body = EmailBody
msg.IsBodyHtml = False
msg.Subject = "Some subject:" & ThisForm.PrimaryIDOCollection.GetCurrentObjectProp erty("some_property")
Try
Dim mySmtp AsNew Net.Mail.SmtpClient("IP address of your SMPT server")
mySmtp.Send(msg)
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
EndSub
