Interupting SEND function

[DAVEH]

I have a custom Outlook form When someone presses the SEND button, I have
some logic to make sure certain items are filled in. If they are not filled
in, I don't want the form to send and I do want the form to remain open.
Is this doable?>
Thanks!
Dave

Either use validation formulas for the desired fields, or writte validation code in the Item_Send event handler.

I do validate in the Item_Send, but it still closes the form

To cancel the send, you need to set the return value of the function to False, e.g. Item_Send = False. That should leave the item open and unsent.
