General Mail Failure with SendMail
I am trying to use SendMail with an array and I
intermittently get the '1004' General mail failure error. Note that this is intermittent. The macro WILL work. But the moment I make any alteration to the macro, the SendMail will fail. However, there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the error. I will try various things, such as remarking out the input box statement or the sendmail and eventually when I put them back in everything works. And will work over and over. But as soon as I make ANY change to the macro, even cosmetic (such as adding a remarked statement), the error returns. I am running WXP SP2 with Outlook 2003 as my mail client and Excel 2003. It seems as if the sendmail statement is keeping a process hung up somewhere. However, neither shutting down nor rebooting seems to have any effect. I am copying the last part of the macro below in case it helps. As you can see, this is the section that prompts the user for an address and then sends mail to that address as well as the static address. I know this is difficult since it's not exactly reproduceable, but any help that could be given would be great because the code (when it works) does EXACTLY what I need. Thanks! ' Get SLM address Dim Message, Title, Default Message = "Enter your email address: " Title = "To receive a copy..." Dim Add(2) As String Add(1) = " Add(2) = InputBox(Message, Title) ActiveWorkbook.SendMail Recipients:=Add(), Subject:="SW/Equip. Order for Cust: " & CustNum.Value & " - " & OrdDate.Value ActiveWindow.Close Kill sPath & "SWE Order for Customer " & CustNum.Value & ".xls" Application.ScreenUpdating = True Application.Quit End Sub |

General Mail Failure with SendMail
Hi Martin,
Just a few guesses. First, do you use any global variables that must have values to proceed with your code? When you do anything in your VBA project, you are in effect resetting the project, which clears out of memory any global or module-level variables you may have set values for. Second, are you calling this routine from a CommandButton on a Worksheet? If so, make sure the TakeFocusOnClick property is set to False. -- Regards, Jake Marx MS MVP - Excel www.longhead.com [please keep replies in the newsgroup - email address unmonitored] Martin wrote: I am trying to use SendMail with an array and I intermittently get the '1004' General mail failure error.

General Mail Failure with SendMail
Jake,
Thanks for your response. No, I'm not using any global variables. I am calling this routine from a form button on the worksheet, but I don't know where to change the TakeFocusOnClick property. But FYI, I came in this morning and the macro worked fine. I ran it several times in a row and it worked perfectly each time. Then all I did was go into the macro and unremarked a remarked line. Then I remarked back out the same line and saved the macro. Now all of a sudden the error is back. ??? Thanks for any help, Martin -----Original Message----- Hi Martin, Just a few guesses.

General Mail Failure with SendMail
More info...
As mentioned below, the error is back. Now, I have waited a couple of hours and tried again and it works. I have not TOUCHED the file or the macro. Does that help?

General Mail Failure with SendMail
Martin,
The TakeFocusOnClick property only applies to an ActiveX control. So I don't think that's your problem, since you used the Forms version. If you'd like to email the workbook to me, I can take a look. It's mvp <-at- longhead <-dot- com. -- Regards, Jake Marx MS MVP - Excel www.longhead.com [please keep replies in the newsgroup - email address unmonitored] Martin wrote: More info...
