TO field

I have created a custom form. I have a drop down menu to be able to select

a province. Is there a way when a certain province is selected that it put

a certain address in the TO field on the form? When I put the code in and

we try to send the form, it comes saying "There must be a least one name or

distribution list in the To, CC or BCC box". If the form has something in

one of the fields (TO, CC or BCC) and then with the code, it will add the

code I put in ... but originally, I don't want anything in the name fields.

Is there a way around this? We are use XP-SP3 and Outlook 2003, sp3.

Thank you.

Wanda
 
See http://outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=38 for information on the events

you can use to change the To field when the user selects from your combo

box. The details depend on whether the combo box is bound to an Outlook

property and, of so, which one.

Hi Sue:

This works good to bring up a message. My code was:

***********

Sub cmdTest_Click()

Set objTab1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("General")

Set objControls = objTab1.Controls("cmbProv")

IF objTab1.Controls("cmbProv")= "Saskatchewan" THEN

msgBox "Hi"

End If

End Sub

***************

When I change msgBox "hi" to:

> .TO = "moyerw"

a message comes up saying "Invalid or unqualified reference". Can I put

the address in the TO (recipient) field this way?

Thank you.

The error message means what it says. You have a ".To" expression outside a

With ... End With block. Therefore, Outlook has no idea what object's To

property your code refers to. Use either:

With Item

> To = "moyerw"

End With

or

Item.To = "moyerw"

Some suggestions:

-- If a control is bound to an Outlook field/property, refer to the

field value not the control value in your code; see

http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=38.

-- Once you have the value, use a Select Case ... End Select block to

evaluate it and perform other actions, not a series of If ... End If

statements.

-- When setting the value of To, use the full email address or an alias

that is uniquely resolvable to an address.

Thank you very much Sue! It works like a charm. This helped a great deal.

You helped out in other parts of the custom form also, which was an asset.

Again, thank you very much.
