    Resolved [RESOLVED] email a document

    I’ve got a sub-routine that e-mails a completed document automatically (if the user chooses that option). The code that I copied to do this uses the line
    Set myOutlook = Nothing
    when it has finished sending the e-mail. Can I delete this line because most users won’t want to close their Outlook? (The code uses a GetObject... / myOutlook.CreateItem method).

    Re: email a document

    setting myoutlook to nothing does not actually close outlook, just disconnects from it
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    Delete it and see if it fixes the problem. I don't know the Outlook object model, but that method sounds like one that will make Outlook go away.

    I tried it without "Outlook.Quit" today & it worked perfectly.
