Automated Error Message (by Email)

[DerbyNeal]

Hi Folks,

At present, if a user has encountered a screen error message within ‘Windows’ (2000), we it the IT dept have to scurry to the specific workstation and address/resolve each individual message box.

The company boss wants the users to refrain from using the ‘CRTL+ATL+PRINT SCREEN’ shortcut option and we would prefer NOT to operate a VPN.

Has anyone help with code that can:
1. Capture the message box image
2. Paste it into the subject area (preferably onto MS Outlook).

Many thanks,

Neal.

Assuming VB: Build a procedure that emails any error information that you want to yourselves. Build error handlers that call this procedure, passing whatever string is appropriate.

So, use the err object, and read up on CDONTS for emailing.
