Reminding Users to Include "from" field

Elisa · #1 09-20-2011, 05:17 AM

Hello,

In my compagny we used Outlook and Exchange server 2k3.
Some of my users have two or even more mails account.

So I always put the main account and and I have list the other account in the advance dropbox.
For exemple the director has:
tom@pomme.be
tom@poires.be
direction@pomme.be
direction@poires.be

Pommes and poires are two subdivision of our compagny...
it's work fine until now.

Tom receive and send mail from all account, but Tom is not a great found of technology and when he send a mail or reply to it it's always sent from the main account.

Because he always forgot to fill-in the from field...

And people who write to Tom@poires.be receive an answer from Tom@pomme.be

And for us it's a big issue, because we don't want that people knows that Pomme and Poires have the same staff.

Nothing illegal just political issue.

I would like to add a macro that pop-up a message to users when the from field is left empty.

I have found one who do the same thing when the object lines is empty :

Listing 1: Watching for Outgoing Items with Blank Subject Lines
Private Sub Application_ItemSend _
(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
If Item.Subject = "" Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Please fill in the subject before sending.", _
vbExclamation, "Missing Subject"
End If
End Sub

But I do not know nothing about VBA and I even don't succeed to run this macro corectly to my outlook...so modify it for the "from" field...

Is anyone knows how to do a macro like that and execute it ?

Or Is anyone have another solution to remind user to complete the "from" field ?

Any workaround would be usefull.

Thanks a lot,
