Possible to require subject when sending mail?

[Sergio Checchi]

Hello everybody

Is it possible to tune Outlook (version XP or 2003) so that it's required to fill in a subject when sending a mail

There is no such feature, but you can build it in with a little Outlook
2000/2002 VBA code:

Private Sub Application_ItemSend _
(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
If Item.Subject = "" Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Please fill in the subject before sending.", _
vbExclamation, "Missing Subject"
End If
End Sub

I don't understand what you want it to do when Outlook starts.

That's exactly what the code referred to in my earlier post does. There is
nothing to "start up" when you run Outlook. Did you actually try it? If it
didn't work, did you check your macro security settings? If you're new to
Outlook VBA macros, these web pages should help you get started:
