Error Catch if DoCmd.SendObject is terminated prematurely

I have a email (SendObject) routine in MSAccess VBA. The code crashes if the user decides not to commit to hit the send button, and simply closes the email form.

Private Sub ButtonSupportEmail_Click()

Dim varName As Variant
Dim varCC As Variant
Dim varSubject As Variant
Dim varBody As Variant

varName = "[email protected]"
varCC = "[email protected]"

varSubject = "ADB Front End Client Support_" & Now()
varBody = "Dear Amazing ADB Support Team:"
DoCmd.SendObject , , , varName, varCC, , varSubject, varBody, True, False

End Sub

Is there an error catch I can add that prompts (via a popup form) the user "No email sent" and closes gracefully?

Solution

  • Add error handling and ignore the 2501 - Operation cancelled error.

    Private Sub ButtonSupportEmail_Click()
    On Error GoTo Trap

    Dim varName As Variant
    Dim varCC As Variant
    Dim varSubject As Variant
    Dim varBody As Variant

    varName = "[email protected]"
    varCC = "[email protected]"

    varSubject = "ADB Front End Client Support_" & Now()
    varBody = "Dear Amazing ADB Support Team:"
    DoCmd.SendObject , , , varName, varCC, , varSubject, varBody, True, False

Leave:
    Exit Sub

Trap:
    If Err.Number <> 2501 Then MsgBox Err.Description, vbCritical
    Resume Leave
End Sub
