I have the following code on an onclick event of an email hyperlink in a form.

Private Sub txtEmail_Click()
Dim strEmail As String

 If IsNull(Me.txtEmail) Then
 MsgBox ("There is no email address shown")
 Exit Sub
 ElseIf Me.txtEmail = " " Then
 MsgBox ("There is no email address shown")
 Exit Sub
 End If
 strEmail = Me.txtEmail
 DoCmd.SendObject , , , strEmail, , , , , True

End Sub

Open in new window


But if the user closes the email window and doesn't send an email we get an error:

"The sendobject action was cancelled"

How can we not get this error message?

Was your intent to have an email sent when someone clicks the txtEmail control?

Yes.  But when the email window opens and if the user changes their mind and doesn't send an email the error appears.

You could wrap that line of code in an On Error Resume Next statement. Something like:

strEmail = Me.txtEmail

On Error Resume Next
DoCmd.SendObject , , , strEmail, , , , , True
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
' Handle the error
End If
On Error Goto 0

Open in new window
