Reminding Users to Include "from" field
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, |

Here is a small script to display a pop-up dialog-box asking the user to verify the account to send through. This script will be triggered each time the user sends an item. For each outbound item a dialog-box with the prompt “Are you sure you want to send the message through the account?” will appear. If the user clicks the Yes button, then the message will send via the selected account. If instead the user clicks “No”, then the code will cancel the send giving the user the opportunity to select a different account for it go out under.
See:http://techniclee.wordpress.com/2011...nding-through/ If you dont want to script a reminder, you could always use the 3rd party "Bells & Whistles for Outlook". It will automate the entire process and always send from the account that the message was originally sent to. See:http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/o.../reply-to.html |

Good morning,
The script is exactly what I need...Thanks a lot for the link. But did I already mention it ? I don't know nothing about VBA... So I open follow very carefully the instruction, I copy the script in the "my outlook session" as asked I save then I closed outlook. For now I even did not change the message content to be sure to not screw everything up... I restart my PC to be sure... then open outlook and When I try to send a mail I got the pop-up : Erreur d'execution 438 propriete ou methode non géree par cet objet I have attach the print screen if someone has an idea ? I try on another PC with Seven instead of XP and same error message and google don't want to be my friend this morning...i got nothing interresting from the search I have done. I'm using Outlook 2k3 SP3 and vba version is 6.3. I have attach the print screen... |

Just a heads up, It looks like the owner of that site responded to you directly and is working on a script for you.
"Hi, Elisa. The error is a result of your version of Outlook. Outlook 2003 doesn’t support the SendUsingAccount property. That was added in Outlook 2007. I apologize for the confusion. I should have indicated in the post that this was only for Outlook 2007 and later. It may take a few days, but let me see if I can come up with a solution for 2003." |

Hi,
That's right...Thanks again for giving me the link. So I will wait if he can come up with a solution... And if not we were talking about migrate to outlook 2010 so perhaps it's will be good timing... or perhaps install "Bells & Whistles for Outlook". So you can close this thread as solved. |
