[RESOLVED] Outlook [Non-VBA Q]- Check for Subject Before Sending

**DKenny** · Sep 27th, 2006, 10:09 AM

Guys
Is there a native way in Outlook to prevent a message from being send if it does not have a subject line?
I just wrote a really great mail to our VP, feeling really proud, and then realized that in concentrating on the text I forgot to include the subject.

VB Code:

DKenny.DumbAss = True

So you want something to run outside of Outlook and check for a subject? It would be easier to use VBA.

Here is the Outlook VBA solution just in case.

VB Code:

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
    If Item.Subject = vbNullString Then
        Cancel = True
        MsgBox "Add a subject please!"
    End If
End Sub

That works, thanks. I'm just surprised that there is no native Outlook ability to check this.

Yes, I know too. They should have gave a setting in the options dialog.

Oh well. Glad it helps
