Froce to save and send e-mail

[Riaz3001]

Hello,

Is there a way in a VBA code, to force the user to save a VB Form and to force it to send it as an e-mail in outlook, with all the data within the form included?

save and send.

Thanks in advance.

I know there are ways to auto send emails, I have not ever used them. You may want to try using the search feature for this forum with that question.

The save function however is something I use, I actually put this in a shared workbook I have because I had 1 particular employee that would leave the shared workbook open for hours on end, and this seemed to create problems for me. So now this code will force them to save and close the workbook after being open for 10 mins.

This code I put in a new module

Option Explicit
Public dTime As Date


Public Sub time_to_close()


dTime = Now + TimeValue("00:10:00")


'MsgBox ("It has been 15 minutes since you opened the WIP, Time to save and close it!")
    If UCase(Application.UserName) = "ME" Or UCase(Application.UserName) = "MYCOWORKER" Then
        'do nothing
    Else
        Workbooks("FILENAME.XLSM").Close SaveChanges:=True
        Application.OnTime dTime, "time_to_close"
    End If
End Sub

This code needs to be added on the thisworkbook code.

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
'Turn off onTime calls
    If UCase(Application.UserName) = "ME" Or UCase(Application.UserName) = "MYCOWORKER" Then
        'do nothing
    Else
     Application.OnTime dTime, "time_to_close", , False
    End If


End Sub


Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    If UCase(Application.UserName) = "ME" Or UCase(Application.UserName) = "MYCOWORKER" Then
        'do nothing
    Else
        dTime = Now + TimeValue("00:10:00")
        Application.OnTime dTime, "time_to_close"
    End If
End Sub

I added the check for user name, so 1 of my coworkers and I don't get the forced save and close.
I hope this can be helpful for you.
