Emailing Objects via lotus notes

[louchey]

Hi Guys,

I have modified some code posted here to email various objects from my database using Lotus notes. All works fine, but would like to see the emails show up in my sent folder so I can double check what has and hasn't been sent. Does anyone know what code to add in or modify.

Any help would be great.
Cheers

Your function already has most of the functionality to allow one to save a copy to Sent folder, you just need to set a value for the variable it uses. This variable is called SaveIt which is dimmed but no value is set on it.

So you have two possible solutions
1)
Set a value for SaveIt of True before the line
MailDoc.SaveMessageOnSend = SaveIt

2)
set up the function to take one more variable as below and thus allow one to set choice of saving a copy when you call the function. You will need to comment out the line

Dim SaveIt as Boolean

to stop error for double declaration and also change your function calls where required.
