I have this table and would like to send one email to Names of individuals who share same country.
NameCountryCitySchoolEmail
AdamTRNCLefkosaCIUAdam@mail.com
MinaTRNCLefkosaNEUMina@mail.com
GraemeUSAMissouriMUNIGraeme@mail.com
BriannUSANebraskaNBUNIBriann@mail.com
BettyUKHullHUNIBetty@mail.com

Thus Adam and Mina will receive one email in Table format as well as same for Graeme and Briann

NameCountryCitySchoolEmail
AdamTRNCLefkosaCIUAdam@mail.com
MinaTRNCLefkosaNEUMina@mail.com

I found a sample solution online but encounter the "End if without block if" when I implement same code. I tried countless techniques I found online but none seems to work.

The highlighted "End if" gets highlighted in debug mode

See sample code:
Code:
Public Sub NewEmail()

Dim olApp As Object
Dim olItem As Variant
Dim rec As DAO.Recordset
Dim aRow(1 To 5) As String
Dim aBody() As String
Dim lCnt As Long
Dim strCountry As String
Dim strHTML As String
Dim strEmail As String
Dim x As Integer

strHTML = "<HTML><body><table border='2'><tr><th>"
strHTML = strHTML & "Name</th><th>"
strHTML = strHTML & "Country</th><th>"
strHTML = strHTML & "City</th><th>"
strHTML = strHTML & "School</th><th>"
strHTML = strHTML & "Email</th>"
strHTML = strHTML & "XXX</table></body></html>"

lCnt = 1

Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.application")

Set rec = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM DummyTable ORDER BY Country, City, School, Name")

If Not (rec.BOF And rec.EOF) Then
    strCountry = rec!Country
    For x = 1 To rec.recordCount
        lCnt = lCnt + 1
        ReDim Preserve aBody(1 To lCnt)
        aRow(1) = rec("Name") & "</td><td>"
        aRow(2) = rec("Country") & "</td><td>"
        aRow(3) = rec("City") & "</td><td>"
        aRow(4) = rec("School") & "</td><td>"
        aRow(5) = rec("Email") & "</td>"
        aBody(lCnt) = "<tr><td>" & Join(aRow, "") & "</tr>"
        strEmail = strEmail & rec!Email & ";"
        If x < rec.recordCount Then rec.MoveNext
        If x = rec.recordCount Or strCountry <> rec!Country Then
            'create the email
            Set olItem = olApp.CreateItem(0)
            olItem.Display
            olItem.To = "my email"
            olItem.BCC = strEmail
            olItem.Subject = "Test E-mail"
            olItem.HTMLBody = Replace(strHTML, "xxx", Join(aBody, vbNewLine))
            olItem.Display
            lCnt = 0
            strEmail = ""
            strCountry = rec!Country
        End If
    Next
End If

strEmail = ""
strCountry = rec!Country
End If
Next
End If

Hi. Which line gets highlighted when you go to debug mode?
Hi, kindly see the post where I have highlighted the line in Green. The first "End if" line gets highlighted in Debug mode. Thank you

I see. Did you say you copied and pasted the above from the Internet into your database? If so, try retyping the whole thing from scratch. Sometimes, you end up copying something you can't see that causes unexpected issues.

Actually I did retype the entire code from scratch. It's quite annoying when the debug solutions I see online don't work.
 
OK, technically, an in-line IF is legal without a closing END IF, but I have sometimes had issues sometimes. Try changing the block to look like this (with some lines omitted for brevity). THIS IS A GUESS - but is like something I've seen before.

Code:
    For x = 1 To rec.recordCount
        lCnt = lCnt + 1
        ReDim Preserve aBody(1 To lCnt)     
...   {omitted}
        strEmail = strEmail & rec!Email & ";"
        If x < rec.recordCount Then 
             rec.MoveNext
        ElseIf (x = rec.recordCount) Or (strCountry <> rec!Country) Then
            'create the email
            Set olItem = olApp.CreateItem(0)
...    {omitted}
            olItem.Display
            lCnt = 0
            strEmail = ""
            strCountry = rec!Country
        End If
    Next
 
This compiles fine for me as well?
In fact the link of that code had the same error?, yet June7 was able to compile it OK?

you can check-out and test this demo?
Hi, this works perfect as I required. I cannot thank you enough.:) 🙏🙏 I have some more questions, I would like to input text in the body of the email before the start of the table, in form of a salutation message : "Dear Sir/Madam, Please find attached your corresponding information". Likewise at the end of the table, a closing message like, "Thank you for your patronage".

Do I need to declare a string variable like:

Dim aBody As String

and call aBody = "Dear Sir/Madam, Please find attached your corresponding information".
 
here check the code on the .htmlbody.
Hi, I also would like to return select columns to user, for instance "Country" AS [Your Country] and City AS [Your City].

I try to do this in the "zzforEmail" query so the table returns Your Country and Your City as the only columns in the outlook email.

For some reason, when I click the form, it does a quick popup in the background and returns results for (Select * from Dummy).

Also, for calling inserting a signature to the footer of the email, I initialise Dim Sig As String and concatenate the strings within the body text but it outputs nothing.

create first your signature in Outlook.
Open Outlook, then File->Option->Mail->Signature.

If you already have your signature created in Outlook.
Tell me your "signature" name.
in the meantime, check the new code of the Button.

also, the query is not needed, ever. i made it for a test
and realize it's not of any use.

I think I was not clear in my question. the current db returns all records in the table for unique users. However, this time I want to return only select columns and corresponding rows in the form of "Country","Name" and "City" with alias Your country, Your name, Your city. Hence I was asking if a groupby by these columns would suffice.

if you run the new uploaded db it will have a column of "My Country", "My City" and you
can see it in the code. whatever is missing or you want to add to the query you can modify
the SQL string in the code of the button.

Hi, thank you @arnelgp for the time you put into helping me get a solution.
 
I want to modify the current solution given that currently the attached file generates an email according to students who belong to the same country. I have included a second table (Principal) to the attachment, and would like the "recipient" to come from "Principal" table.

Scenario: Nat is a course advisor to Adam and Mina.
Recipient should be Nat given that these are the students Nat is responsible for.

My solution would be to create a second recordset to retrieve distinct emails from Principal table using common "Name" column found in both tables and call recipient to be "Mail" from Principal table.

I try this and it works but takes only the Name and Mail column for generating the email.

Principal Table
Course_advisorNameMailCountries
NatAdamNat1@mail.comTRNC
NatMinaNat1@mail.comTRNC


Dummy Table
NameCountryCitySchoolEmail
AdamTRNCLefkosaCIUAdam@mail.com
MinaTRNCLefkosaNEUMina@mail.com
