Execute VBA on Send Mail

Hi, is it possible to execute a vba function when the outlook express "Send email" button is clicked? If possible can you please send some example code, or point me in the right direction.

Thanks

I'm not aware of any way to monitor the Send Mail button explicitly, however, you can use an event procedure that runs each time a message is sent.

vb Code:

Original - vb Code
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean) strTitle = "Your message has been sent" strPrompt = "A message with the following subject:" & vbCr & vbCr strPrompt = strPrompt & Item.Subject & vbCr & vbCr strPrompt = strPrompt & "has been sent to " & Item.To MsgBox strPrompt, vbOKOnly, strTitle End Sub

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
    strTitle = "Your message has been sent"
    strPrompt = "A message with the following subject:" & vbCr & vbCr
    strPrompt = strPrompt & Item.Subject & vbCr & vbCr
    strPrompt = strPrompt & "has been sent to " & Item.To
    MsgBox strPrompt, vbOKOnly, strTitle
End Sub

This example simply displays a message box confirming that a message was sent.
