How to get Outlook hand control back to Excel VBA procedure?

I have an Excel VBA procedure that sends emails from am Outlook Template (.oft). That works fine.
I'd like to put at the top of the process a .Display so that the template is displayed for the user to check that it is the correct one.

Is it possible to make the Excel VBA to continue running when the user Closes the displayed Outlook template? I think this would need something like the 'close' in Outlook triggering a procedure in Excel. Would that be possible?

Thanks

Can you provide a snippet of your code so we can understand better?

This displays the template. OK.

Sub PreviewEmails()

    Dim myOlApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem
    Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    
    strTemplateName = "Template1"
    strTemplateFolder = "C:\Samples\Sending emails\"
    strPath = strTemplateFolder + strTemplateName
    
    Set oMail = myOlApp.CreateItemFromTemplate(strPath)

    oMail.Display

End Sub

Open in new window

My question is, when the user closes the displayed template (with close box) is it possible for that event to run/call an Excel VBA procedure?
