MsgBox before sending email

Hello Experts,

Currently, I have a button where once it clicked, it will automatically send an email without opening the outlook. Some of the information will be extract from the form such as customer email, name and etc.

Below is part of my code:

Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
OutApp.Session.Logon
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.to = Me.Email
.CC = ""

What I am trying to do now is, to set up a MsgBox when any of the data is not entered, such as if the email or customer name has blank records, then a MsgBox will appear.

Thanks!

Before the .send command, check all the variables

dim sVar(), j
sVar=array("sTo","sCC","sSubj")

for j=lbound(sVar) to ubound(sVar)
if len(trim(sVar(j)))=0 then
msgbox "Please enter information for " & sVar(j)
end if
next

Besides the messagebox, what do you want to do?

I would do this before the line starting: Set OutApp

Dim strErrMsg as string
If me.email = "" Then strErrMsg = "Email address missing!
if me.Subject = "" then strErrMsg = (strErrMsg + vbcrlf) & "Subject missing!"
if me.Body = "" then strErrMsg = (strErrMsg + vbcrlf) & "Message body missing!"

If Len(strErrMsg) > 0 Then
msgbox strErrMsg, vbOKOnly
Exit Sub
End If

Hey guys, thanks for the fast reply.

Have tried both of the codes and the email still sent without any warning.

Here's my code:

Dim strErrMsg As String
If Me.Email = "" Then strErrMsg = "Email address missing!"
If Me.Extension = "" Then strErrMsg = (strErrMsg + vbCrLf) & "Extension Number missing!"
If Me.VoicemailPin = "" Then strErrMsg = (strErrMsg + vbCrLf) & "Voicemail Pin missing!"

If Len(strErrMsg) > 0 Then
MsgBox strErrMsg, vbOKOnly
Exit Sub
End If

Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object

Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
OutApp.Session.Logon
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.to = Me.Email
.CC = ""
.BCC = """"
.Subject = "Test"
.HTMLBody = "<HTML>Dear " & Me.ClientName & "<BR>" _

.Send

MsgBox ("Email has been sent successfully")

.Sent

End With

On Error GoTo 0

Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing

End Sub

Have also tested Capricorn's code before .Send

Thanks

Dim sVar(), j
sVar = Array("sTo", "sCC", "sClientName")

For j = LBound(sVar) To UBound(sVar)
If Len(Trim(sVar(j))) = 0 Then
MsgBox "Please enter information for " & sVar(j)
End If
Next
.Send

MsgBox ("Email has been sent successfully")

End Sub

Thanks!

where are your variables
"sTo", "sCC", "sClientName"

test this one

Private Sub Command550_Click()
dim sTo, sCC, sClientName
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object

sTo=Me.Email
sCC="whatever"
sClientName=Me.ClientName
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
OutApp.Session.Logon
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = sto
.CC = ""
.BCC = "i_am@alvinluo.me"""
.Subject = "Test"
.HTMLBody = "<HTML>Dear " & sClientName & "<BR>" _

Dim sVar(), j
sVar = Array("sTo", "sCC", "sClientName")

For j = LBound(sVar) To UBound(sVar)
If Len(Trim(sVar(j))) = 0 Then
MsgBox "Please enter information for " & sVar(j)
exit sub
End If
Next
.Send

MsgBox ("Email has been sent successfully")

.Sent

End With

On Error GoTo 0

Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing

End Sub

Private Sub Command550_Click()

    Dim OutApp As Object
    Dim OutMail As Object

        exit sub
        End If
        Next


    Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

Hi Capricorn, tested your better script and did not work either.

here's my code:

Private Sub Command550_Click()
Dim sTo, sTel, sClientName
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object

sTo = Me.Email
sTel = Me.Tel
sClientName = Me.ClientName

Dim sVar(), j
sVar = Array("sTo", "sClientName", "sTell")

For j = LBound(sVar) To UBound(sVar)
If Len(Trim(sVar(j))) = 0 Then
MsgBox "Please enter information for " & sVar(j)
Exit Sub
End If
Next

Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
OutApp.Session.Logon
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = "Me.Email"
.CC = ""
.BCC = """"
.Subject = "Test"
.HTMLBody = "<HTML>Dear " & Me.ClientName & "<BR>" _

.Send

MsgBox ("Email has been sent successfully")

.Sent

End With

On Error GoTo 0

Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing

End Sub

Inside my form has a tab control, the textboxes are in Tab1 and my button is in Tab2. Will that affect the code?

Thanks

Rey Obrero (Capricorn1)

that will work if any of the variables sTo, sTel, sClientName is empty or ""
did you try the codes without anything assign to any of the variables?

also in your code, this is incorrect
sVar = Array("sTo", "sClientName", "sTell")

should be
sVar = Array("sTo", "sClientName", "sTel")

Hi Capricorn,

I have changed that to "sTel" and also I have left blank for all the variables.

When I click 'Send', the email automatically sent and I did received the email with the blank variables in it.

Rey Obrero (Capricorn1)

can you upload your db..

but before that, do a compact and repair of your
from VBA window do Debug>Compile
correct any errors raised

try the operation again

Hi Capricorn,

I have used a sample from Microsoft and added the code inside. Still didn't work either.

Variables are: ContactFirstName, PhoneNumber and Country (I changed country as email)
