Hi,

I need outlook vba code which ask for predefined password before sending email. If password matches then outlook should send the email.

Please assist.
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
js1537,

If you already have the email code created, you can add this simple portion to it, to make the user enter a password. If the password does not match, it continues to prompt the user until correct. Change "Password" to your preference.

Code:
While passCode <> "[B][I][U]Password[/U][/I][/B]"
    
    passCode = InputBox("Enter password:      (If unknown, leave blank and click Cancel)", "Email Security")
    
    If passCode = "" Then
        Exit Sub
    End If
Wend

Let me know if this is something you were looking for.

Bill

Hi,
Put this code into ThisOutlookSession module^
Rich (BB code):
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
  Const PWD = "1234"  ' <-- Correct password
  Dim s As String
  s = InputBox("To send email type the password, please", "Email guard")
  If s <> PWD Then
    Cancel = True
    If s <> "" Then MsgBox "Wrong password!", vbExclamation, "Email guard"
  End If
End Sub

Put this code into Outlook's module ThisOutlookSession and try to send email with/without forbidden words.

Hi Vladimir,

Thanks for the code its also helpful for me. I was also finding the same from last one month.

Can you please suggest how we set password protection on created VBA on outlook, so no one can delete without password.
