Userform help needed

[Tim]

First I would like to qualify; I’m not a programmer, far from it. I’m a
police officer that is trying to take my agency from the pen and paper era to
this ‘new’ era called the ‘computer age’. I have been working on this project
(on my own time) for about two years. Everything that I learned so far has
been from this discussion group or a site that I was directed to. I would
like to say thanks to all the people that helped/directed me, written code,
etc., without your help I would have given up a long time ago.

OK enough sucking up. Here is my next project. I would like to try and add
some Userforms to the program. I’ve done a little homework and so far I’ve
been able to build the form, now I need it to do what I want it to.

I plan to have a button on ‘Sheet 1’ that calls the form up. The form has
six text boxes on it (txtDate, txtName, txtPerson, txtTime, txtRelease,
TxtNextdate). I would like the data from those text fields to go to specific
cells on a sheet named ‘Employee List’. i.e. txtDate to G45. I would then
like it to run the following email code (that I found on Ron Debruin’s site,
Thanks Ron). I would like person to be able to fill in the boxes and then
click on one button on the form (cmdEmailtodata) and have it do both
processes.

Sorry for the long post.
Thanks

Wait a sec.

I have a UserForm now (sample is here:
http://www.geocities.com/smplprgrsrc/XLSMailForm.zip), with 6 EditBoxes:
txtDate, txtName, txtPerson, txtTime, txtRelease and txtNextDate.
There's a button on Sheet1 which launches the form. After a click on button
cmdEmailtodata, the form values are being sent to sheet "Employee List".
So I send
txtDate to G45
txtName to H45
txtPerson to I45
txtTime to J45
txtRelease to K45
and txtNextDate to L45

Tada. So far so good, althoug I think I'm already going in the wrong
direction here.

However, in Ron's api-call, I just don't get the Subject line;
Subj = "Statement for " & " for Incident " & Sheets("Employee
List").Range("N7").Value


Statement for & WHO/WHAT & for incident...

And then: What's in cell N7? Also: What's in cell N3?

Or should I walk through G45-L45, construct the mail message from all cells
and then send it?

 

[Tim]

N3 is what the completed statement is which goes into the body of the email.
N7 gets incident number from a cell on another sheet and that data is used to
build the re: line in the email. I will be using the data from(txtPerson) to
fill in "Statement for" (&).

Thanks "moi"

hang on...

Tim,

You could simply add a button to the form, load the worksheet from there,
and then run Ron's macro.

I just knocked up a simple example that worked fine.

Is that what you are asking or am I missing something?

The sheet "Employee List" is a hidden sheet in the workbook. I was hoping to
have a button on my main worksheet (Sheet1) that would call the form up, have
the user fillin the text fields and then have one button on the form that
would transfer the data to the hidden sheet (Employee List), then run the
email code.
I could add a second button for the email but I was hoping to do it all in
one.

Ron's macro is working, but only when I replace the ampersand with a
question mark in the subject. Else I get the full msg-line in the address
bar.

Same link as above Tim, it's updated.

 

[Bob Phillips]

Add a button from the forms toolbar and assign the following macro

Sub myStuff()
Userform1.Show
Mail_Text_in_Body_3
End Sub

The userform code would dump to the spreadsheet. Do you need that as well?

Thanks for the help. This has me heading in the right direction, just need
some time to work it into the program. But I better get back to the "HoneyDo"
list, She thinks I'm nuts doing this on my own time... probably right.

I will let you know how I make out

Thanks again to both of you.
