How can I prevent Outlook 2007 from sending an email with a blank subject line?

Help Please!!
 
See the ItemSend event, there you can check the item's Subject property, and

set Cancel=True if you don't want to send.

Best regards

This event handler checks for blank subjects as well as if you try to

reply to a message with a blank subject.

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As

Boolean)

Dim Msg As Outlook.MailItem

Dim subj As String

If TypeName(Item) <> "MailItem" Then Exit Sub

Dim badSubjects() As Variant

badSubjects = Array("RE: ", "FW: ", " ")

Set Msg = Item

subj = Msg.Subject

If IsInArray(badSubjects, subj) Then

If MsgBox("Subject line is empty. Are you sure you want to send

this message?", _

vbQuestion + vbYesNo + vbMsgBoxSetForeground, "No

Subject") = vbNo Then

Cancel = True

End If

End If

End Sub

Function IsInArray(arr() As Variant, valueToCheck As Variant) As

Boolean

' returns true if value is found in array

IsInArray = (UBound(Filter(arr, valueToCheck)) > -1)

End Function

Hi,

Open outlook, press Alt+F11 and press Ctrl+R. Navigate to

"ThisOutlookSession" and paste the below code, save (Ctrl+S) and close VB

editor. close and reopen outlook, enable macros.

Code-----
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)

strSubject$ = Item.Subject

If Len(strSubject$) = 0 Then

Prompt$ = "Subject is Empty. Are you sure you want to send the mail?"

If MsgBox(Prompt$, vbYesNo + vbQuestion + vbMsgBoxSetForeground, "Check

for Subject.") = vbNo Then

Cancel = True

End If

End If

End Sub

Thanks,

Vivek
