VBA Error Messages interspersed with running as planned - vba

I have a Macro that works inconsistently and it is unable to run without an error occuring at some stage. It works without any problem for days but then doesn't, seemingly without reason. I change nothing, do not do anything different and am curious as to the fickleness of VBA/macros only having been dealing with them for some weeks now. An error is generated in those instances that it doesn't run as expected.
Error :object doesn't support this property or method
--despite the option of caption being generated on the insertion of .
Sub SnoozedReminders()
Dim oReminder As Reminder
Dim oReminders As Outlook.Reminders
Dim RemItems As String
Set oReminders = Outlook.Reminders
For Each oReminder In oReminders
If (oReminder.OriginalReminderDate <> oReminder.NextReminderDate)
Then
RemItems = RemItems & oReminder.Caption & vbCrLf & _
"Original Reminder time: " & oReminder.OriginalReminderDate & vbCrLf
& _
"Snoozed to: " & oReminder.NextReminderDate & vbCrLf _
& vbCrLf
End If
Next oReminder
Set oMail = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
oMail.Subject = "Generated on " & Now
oMail.Body = RemItems
oMail.Display
End Sub

In the code you are trying to set a type to the object:
Set oReminders = Outlook.Reminders
Instead, you need to use the following code which uses the Reminders property of the Outlook Application class:
Set oReminders = Application.Reminders
For example, the following code gets the Reminders collection and displays the captions of all reminders in the collection. If no current reminders are available, a message is displayed to the user.
Sub ViewReminderInfo()
'Lists reminder caption information
Dim objRem As Outlook.Reminder
Dim objRems As Outlook.Reminders
Dim strTitle As String
Dim strReport As String
Set objRems = Application.Reminders
strTitle = "Current Reminders:"
strReport = ""
'If there are reminders, display message
If Application.Reminders.Count <> 0 Then
For Each objRem In objRems
'Add information to string
strReport = strReport & objRem.Caption & vbCr
Next objRem
'Display report in dialog
MsgBox strTitle & vbCr & vbCr & strReport
Else
MsgBox "There are no reminders in the collection."
End If
End Sub

Email address in vba not displaying correctly

I have everything working to send an email via an Access command button. However, the displayed email address is incorrect.
Private Sub cmdSendEmail_Click()
Dim EmailApp, NameSpace, EmailSend As Object
Set EmailApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set NameSpace = EmailApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set EmailSend = EmailApp.CreateItem(0)
EmailSend.To = [emailadd] '[emailadd] is the field on the form where the button is located
EmailSend.Subject = [Forms]![WorkordersVR]![Project] & " - " & [Forms]![WorkordersVR]![JobNumber]
EmailSend.Body = "Hello," & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"The project" & " " & [Forms]![WorkordersVR]![Project] & " " & "is ready for pickup." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Thank you!" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Person sending email here" & vbCrLf & _
EmailSend.Display
Set EmailApp = Nothing
Set NameSpace = Nothing
Set EmailSend = Nothing
End Sub
What ends up in the displayed email To is:
"fred#aplace.com#fred#aplace.com#"
How do I get fred#aplace.com?
You can use string functions available in VBA to get a substring until the # symbol in the string. For example, the InStr function returns a number specifying the position of the first occurrence of one string within another.
Also I'd suggest using the Recipients property of the MailItem class which returns a Recipients collection that represents all the recipients for the Outlook item. Then I'd suggest using the Recipient.Resolve method which attempts to resolve a Recipient object against the Address Book.
For example:
Sub CreateStatusReportToBoss()
Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim myRecipient As Outlook.Recipient
Set myItem = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set myRecipient = myItem.Recipients.Add("email")
myRecipient.Resolve
If(myRecipient.Resolved) Then
myItem.Subject = "Status Report"
myItem.Display
End If
End Sub

Extracting Data Relating To Reminders Snoozed

I have no VBA knowledge but am on a passage of learning. I have obtained the following coding from a public source (Diane Peremsky) of outlook forums. It has a bug I am working on to resolve and strangely returns different data on successive iterations.
Could somebody try provide (or guide me) to add the first 3 lines of the message body to which it refers?
Sub SnoozedReminders()
Dim oReminder As Reminder
Dim oReminders As Outlook.Reminders
Dim RemItems As String
Set oReminders = Outlook.Reminders
For Each oReminder In oReminders
If (oReminder.OriginalReminderDate <> oReminder.NextReminderDate) Then
RemItems = RemItems & oReminder.Caption & vbCrLf & _
"Original Reminder time: " & oReminder.OriginalReminderDate & vbCrLf & _
"Snoozed to: " & oReminder.NextReminderDate & vbCrLf _
& vbCrLf
End If
Next oReminder
Set oMail = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
oMail.Subject = "Generated on " & Now
oMail.Body = RemItems
oMail.Display
End Sub
The Reminder.Item property returns a corresponding Outlook item. So, you may get the message body from there.
Sub SnoozedReminders()
Dim oReminder As Reminder
Dim oReminders As Outlook.Reminders
Dim RemItems As String
Set oReminders = Outlook.Reminders
For Each oReminder In oReminders
If (oReminder.OriginalReminderDate <> oReminder.NextReminderDate) Then
RemItems = RemItems & oReminder.Caption & vbCrLf & "Original Reminder time: " &
oReminder.OriginalReminderDate & vbCrLf & "Snoozed to: " & oReminder.NextReminderDate & vbCrLf
& vbCrLf
End If
MsgBox oReminder.Item.Body
Next oReminder
...
End Sub
The Outlook object model provides three main ways for working with item bodies:
Body.
HTMLBody.
The Word editor. The WordEditor property of the Inspector class returns an instance of the Word Document which represents the message body.
See Chapter 17: Working with Item Bodies for more information.

Restrict Outlook Items to today's date - VBA

I've written some code that scans my default Outlook inbox for emails received today with a specific subject.
I then download the attachment for Outlook items that meet my criteria. I am having trouble designating the Restrict method to pull back items received today.
Here is what I have:
Sub DownloadAttachmentFirstUnreadEmail()
Dim oOlAp As Object, oOlns As Object, oOlInb As Object
Dim oOlItm As Object, oOlAtch As Object
Dim sFilter As String
Dim NewFileName As String
NewFileName = "C:\Temp\" & "CHG_Daily_Extract_" & Format(Date, "MM-DD-YYYY") & ".csv"
'~~> Get Outlook instance
Set oOlAp = GetObject(, "Outlook.application")
Set oOlns = oOlAp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set oOlInb = oOlns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
'Declare email item restriction
sFilter = "[ReceivedTime] = '" & Format(Date, "DDDDD HH:NN") & "'"
'Catch
If oOlInb.Items.Restrict(sFilter).Count > 0 Then
'~~> Loop thru today's emails
For Each oOlItm In oOlInb.Items.Restrict(sFilter)
'~> Check if the email subject matches
If oOlItm = "ASG CDAS Daily CHG Report" Then
'~~> Download the attachment
For Each oOlAtch In oOlItm.Attachments
oOlAtch.SaveAsFile NewFileName
Exit For
Next
End If
Exit For
Next
'Display if no emails today
Else: MsgBox "No items"
End If
End Sub
When I run the code, I consistently receive my catch message of "No items".
Please let me know if I am using the Restrict method incorrectly. Thank you so much for the help.
How about the following-
Filter = "#SQL=" & "%today(" & Chr(34) & ("urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived") & _
Chr(34) & ")%
Or with Attachment
Filter = "#SQL=" & "%today(" & Chr(34) & ("urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived") & _
Chr(34) & ")% AND " & _
Chr(34) & "urn:schemas:httpmail:hasattachment" & _
Chr(34) & "=1"
Example
Option Explicit
Private Sub Examples()
Dim olNs As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim Inbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim Items As Outlook.Items
Dim Msg As String
Dim i As Long
Dim Filter As String
Set olNs = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set Inbox = olNs.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Filter = "#SQL=" & "%today(" & Chr(34) & ("urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived") & _
Chr(34) & ")%"
Set Items = Inbox.Items.Restrict(Filter)
Msg = Items.Count & " Items in " & Inbox.Name
If MsgBox(Msg, vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
For i = Items.Count To 1 Step -1
Debug.Print Items(i) 'Immediate Window
Next
End If
End Sub
Filtering Items Using a Date-time Comparison MSDN
Outlook Date-time Macros
The date macros listed below return filter strings that compare the value of a given date-time property with a specified date in UTC; SchemaName is any valid date-time property referenced by namespace.
Note Outlook date-time macros can be used only in DASL queries.
Macro Syntax Description
today %today(" SchemaName")% Restricts for items with SchemaName

Adding email attachment name to my report Outlook

With the below code I'm getting an error when I try to add an attachment file name to the report. Perhaps it is the syntax?
The error is occurring at Report = Report & currentItem.Attachments.FileName line
The error is "object doesn't support this property or method.
Any ideas?
I am running this code in Outlook,
Private Sub GetAllEmailsInFolder(CurrentFolder As Outlook.Folder, Report As String)
Dim currentItem
Dim attachment As attachment
Dim currentMail As MailItem
Report = Report & "Folder Name: " & CurrentFolder.Name & " (Store: " & CurrentFolder.Store.DisplayName & ")" & vbCrLf
For Each currentItem In CurrentFolder.Items
Report = Report & currentItem.Subject
Report = Report & vbCrLf
Report = Report & "----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
Report = Report & vbCrLf
Report = Report & currentItem.Attachments.FileName
Next
End Sub
Also, I first run a sub that gets a list of emails:
Public Sub GetListOfEmails()
'On Error GoTo On_Error
Dim Session As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim Report As String
Dim Folder As Outlook.Folder
Set Session = Application.Session
Set Folder = Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder
Call GetAllEmailsInFolder(Folder, Report)
Dim retValue As Boolean
retValue = CreateReportAsEmail("List of Emails", Report)
Exiting:
Set Session = Nothing
Exit Sub
On_Error:
MsgBox "error=" & Err.Number & " " & Err.Description
Resume Exiting
End Sub
Then here is the sub I use to create the report in the form of an email I want to copy into excel.
Public Function CreateReportAsEmail(Title As String, Report As String)
'On Error GoTo On_Error
Dim Session As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim mail As MailItem
Dim MyAddress As AddressEntry
Dim Inbox As Outlook.Folder
CreateReportAsEmail = True
Set Session = Application.Session
Set Inbox = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set mail = Inbox.Items.Add("IPM.Mail")
Set MyAddress = Session.CurrentUser.AddressEntry
mail.Recipients.Add (MyAddress.Address)
mail.Recipients.ResolveAll
mail.Subject = Title
mail.Body = Report
mail.Save
mail.Display
Exiting:
Set Session = Nothing
Exit Function
On_Error:
CreateReportAsEmail = False
MsgBox "error=" & Err.Number & " " & Err.Description
Resume Exiting
End Function
The Attachments collection does not have a Filename property, but each individual Attachment does. Add an additional loop through the Attachments collection.
GetAllEmailsInFolder should be a Function returning a String. A Sub does something; a Function returns something.
GetAllEmailsInFolder assumes that all the items within CurrentFolder are MailItems, which might not be the case.
Use a different variable name than attachment for each Attachment. Same goes for Folder, Session...
Untested, but something like this:
Private Function GetAllEmailsInFolder(CurrentFolder As Outlook.Folder) As String
Dim currentItem As Object
Dim myAttachment As Attachment
Dim Report as String
Report = Report & "Folder Name: " & CurrentFolder.Name & " (Store: " & CurrentFolder.Store.DisplayName & ")" & vbCrLf
For Each currentItem In CurrentFolder.Items
If TypeOf currentItem Is Outlook.MailItem Then
Report = Report & currentItem.Subject
Report = Report & vbCrLf
Report = Report & "----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
Report = Report & vbCrLf
For Each myAttachment in currentItem.Attachments
Report = Report & myAttachment.Filename ' and add formatting inbetween as needed
Next myAttachment
End If
Next currentItem
GetAllEmailsInFolder = Report
End Sub
Here is quick Example, you may need to adjust little on how it displays on email.
For Each currentItem In CurrentFolder.Items
Report = Report & currentItem.Subject
Report = Report & vbCrLf
Report = Report & "--------------------------------------------------------"
Report = Report & vbCrLf
' Report = Report & currentItem.Attachments.FileName
For Each attachment In currentItem.Attachments
Debug.Print attachment.FileName
Report = Report & attachment.FileName
Next
Next

Userform variables to E-mail

I have a Userform which has 3 buttons on it and based on the click the respective text needs to be inserted in the body of the email, for this e-mail the To, CC, Subject, will be taken from Listview box in Sheet1 which inturn extracts the values stored in Sheet2 and paste it in To, CC, Subject of the email.
When i paste the code in the buttonclick () command the variables are not getting passed from the maincode to the userform code where it shows the To, CC and Subject as blanks.
Here's the code:
Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Dim rngCell As Range
ListView41.ListItems.Clear
For Each rngCell In Worksheets("MFRs Contacts").Range("A2:A400")
If Not rngCell = Empty Then
With ListView41.ListItems.Add(, , rngCell.Value)
.ListSubItems.Add , , rngCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
.ListSubItems.Add , , rngCell.Offset(0, 2).Value
End With
End If
Next rngCell
End Sub
Sub ListView41_DblClick()
Dim strName As String
Dim strEmail As String
Dim strEmail1 As String
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim Singlepart As String
Dim SigString As String
Dim Signature As String
Dim strbody As String
Dim SigFilename
strName = ListView41.SelectedItem.Text
strEmail = ListView41.SelectedItem.ListSubItems(1).Text
strEmail1 = ListView41.SelectedItem.ListSubItems(2).Text
check = MsgBox("Send e-mail, To : " & strName & " - " & strEmail & "?" & vbNewLine & _
"CC : " & strEmail1, vbYesNo)
If check <> vbYes Then Exit Sub
Singlepart = MsgBox("For Single Part or Multiple Parts ? " & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"Single Part = Yes" & vbNewLine & _
"Multiple Parts = No", vbYesNo)
If Singlepart = vbYes Then
' For Single Part Numbers
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
strbody = "<H3><B>Dear Customer Ron de Bruin</B></H3>" & _
"Please visit this website to download the new version.<br>" & _

If Dir(SigString) <> "" Then
Signature = GetBoiler(SigString)
Else
Signature = ""
End If
On Error Resume Next
Userform1.Show

With OutMail
.Display
.To = strEmail
.CC = strEmail1
.BCC = ""
.Subject = strName & "_Request for Product Information"
.HTMLBody = strbody & vbNewLine & Signature
.Display 'or .Display if you want the user to view e-mail and send it manually
End With

Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub
Can you please help me on this.
Your variables you need to access on your form (I'm assuming strName, strEmail, and strEmail1) only have scope in Sub ListView41_DblClick(). If you need to use them in your form, you'll have to pass them as parameters (my preferred way to do it) or give them global scope.
A UserForm is a class, so you can give it properties like any other class - i.e. in UserForm1:
Private mEmail As String
Public Property Let Email(inputVal As String)
mEmail = inputVal
End Property
Public Property Get Email() As String
Email = mEmail
End Property
Then you would call it like any other object:
Dim nameless_form As UserForm1
Set nameless_form = New UserForm1
nameless_form.Email = strEmail
nameless_form.Show
