Outlook 2003 Form - Copy text from text box to the message body

[mefanning]

My text box is named textbox1 and the value name is "text".

I get an error message - One or more parameter values are not valid.

Sub CommandButton1_Click

Dim strText
set strText = Item.UserProperties("TextBox1")
Item.To = "email@email.com"
Item.Subject = "This is the subject"
Item.Body = strText
Importance = 2 'High

End Sub

Actually, the error message is - object required Item.UserProperties(...)

 

[PHV]

So, where and how is Item instanciated ?


Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I believe Item is predefined by Outlook in their scripting editor. If I remove the lines to set strText and to populate item.body it works.

This is what I mean:

Sub CommandButton1_Click

Item.To = "email@email.com"
Item.Subject = "This is the subject"
Item.Body = "This is the body"
Importance = 2 'High

End Sub

What PHV is pointing out (at least from my interpretation) is where in the scope of the sub CommandButton1_Click is Item defined? From the sounds of it, you'll need to instanciate an Outlook object and then the Item object.

In fact, here's a reference to one of his older posts regarding a similar issue
