Re: Updating Subject field using controls from message body

You have the syntax for UserProperties correct, but you're using it for the wrong property. UserProperties is for custom properties like "Site Name" not built-in properties like Subject. For the latter, it's just Item.Subject. Take a look again at the page I suggested.

Nope, I am thick...

My code is:


Function Item_Send()
Item.UserProperties("Subject") = "DES Query " & Item."Contact Name" & "
at "Item."Site Name"
End Function

I can tell that I am sure I haven't done the free text, but the field
names won't work either...


Many thanks for that.

After reading the primer and trying things out, I can't get it to work.

Basically, I have two fields that the user will fill in, SiteName and
ContactName, that I want to append to the Subject so to be able to
file, sort, and track. Something like:

DES Query from Andrew Livingston at Cheltenham Contact Centre on
09/06/06

Am I just thick?
