'Control contents of email address fields
I want to send the body of a Word document as an email from MS Word 2016.
I want the user to select recipients from the address book. I want them to only be put in the BCC field.
How do I monitor the to/from/CC/BCC fields for changes, and then move those changes to BCC?
The documentation indicates the use of Inspectors, but nothing specific about accessing the contents of these fields.
I have two approaches:
- open a new Outlook mail item, load the contents of the Word file to it, and then try to monitor the fields that way.
- send directly from Word using the Quick Access Toolbar option "Send to Mail Recipient".
I don't know if that is an option based on what I was reading and if those fields are accessible via VBA.
Code example of what I have so far:
Sub SendDocumentInMail()
Dim bStarted As Boolean
Dim oOutlookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oItem As Outlook.MailItem
On Error Resume Next
'Get Outlook if it's running
Set oOutlookApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err <> 0 Then
'Outlook wasn't running, start it from code
Set oOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
bStarted = True
End If
'Create a new mailitem
Set oItem = oOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With oItem
'Set the recipient for the new email
.To = "[email protected]"
'Set the recipient for a copy
.CC = "[email protected]"
'Set the subject
.Subject = "New subject"
'The content of the document is used as the body for the email
.Body = ActiveDocument.Content
.Send
End With
If bStarted Then
'If we started Outlook from code, then close it
oOutlookApp.Quit
End If
'Clean up
Set oItem = Nothing
Set oOutlookApp = Nothing
End Sub
