you can use the SendObject command to create an email, and you don't
even need to attach an "object" to it if you don't want to.

Full syntax:
DoCmd.SendObject(ObjectType, ObjectName, OutputFormat, To, Cc, Bcc,
Subject, MessageText, EditMessage, TemplateFile)


If you dont want an attachment:

Docmd.SendObject , , , ", , , "subject line",
"blah blah blah", true



EditMessage = true, means that the email comes up to be edited first.
If this is false and you want to send it automatically, Outlook will
give a warning everytime that another program is trying to take
control of sending emails.
