I have a text box for employee number. This field is used to address the CC

field. If the employee number is typed incorrectly and therefore cannot be

resolved and error message show. What I'd like to do is after the message is

acknowledged by the user the employee number field, To, and CC fields are

cleared. Is there code I can add to the jscript to clear those fields?

What jscript are you talking about? What error message?

The code reads as follows:

Function Item_Send()

Const olCc = 2

Set objRecip = Item.Recipients.Add

(Item.UserProperties("ManagerEmployeeNumber2"))

If objRecip.Resolve Then

objRecip.Type = olcc

Else

MsgBox "Manager Employee Number is either not valid or blank. Please enter

a valid employee number."

Item_Send = False

End If

End Function

The error message would be what's in the MsgBox line of code.

Thanks,

Angie

If the recipient doesn't resolve, you should be able to call

objRecip.Delete. If you want to clear all recipients (which would seem to

make more work for the user), set the value of the To and CC properties to

"".

And that's VBScript code that an Outlook form uses, not JScript.

Sue - Thank you!!! I'll remember that...VBScript not JScript. I think I

have one last question. The VBScript I have now is as follows:

Function Item_Send()

Const olCc = 2

Set objRecip = Item.Recipients.Add

(Item.UserProperties("ManagerEmployeeNumber2"))

If objRecip.Resolve Then

objRecip.Type = olcc

Else

MsgBox "Manager Employee Number is not valid, blank or contains the ""e"".

Please enter a valid employee number."

Item_Send = False

objRecip.Delete

Item.UserProperties("EmployeeNumber")= ""

End If

End Function

What is happening now, is that I can enter a valid Employee Number, but all

other fields (except the Memo field) is locked (won't let me backspace or

highlight/edit). If I were to click in the Memo field then one of the other

fields, I can edit their content. Is there a way the fields can be editible

without having to click the Memo field first?

From a user's perspective, it is right after he/she clicks the message box

which would read, "Manager Employee Number is not valid..." Once the OK

button on the "error" is clicked, their cursor goes to the employee number

field. User is allowed to type a new value in Employee Number. However, all

other fields are "locked" meaning one could put their cursor in a field /

backspace or highlight and click delete but nothing happens. However, if

(the user) clicks within the Memo field then out to one of the other fields

(i.e. name, d.o.b) the field is "unlocked" editable and one can put their

cursor in a field and backspace or highlight and click delete.

I have no idea why other controls would be responsive, unless you have some

code on the item that sets those controls to read-only.
