cyberchief Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Is there a way to prevent ME from crashing when it finds a bad email address on the email send command? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Did you send us the crash report? If so, we can track it down and fix it. In the meantime you might want to write a routine that verifies the email address. Check for '@' and '.com', '.net', '.org. etc. What do the bad email addresses look like?

cyberchief Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I know that the email format is correct... it is just when the specific email address doesn't exist. Macro tries to send an email, but it stops and says "xxx@email.com does not exist" and gives me an OK button to click on. I click OK, and macro aborts. There is no crash.

cyberchief Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 The specific error message states: Exception: 550 5.1.1 <David.Barber383838@email.com>... User Unknown I am guessing that this is due to Macro checking the mail server to see if the user exists. It is a ME error, not a Windows error. I would like to be able to capture that error and have the macro continue running rather than aborting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Try using the Log Errors command. Enable the 'Do not display error messages (log only)' option. You might want to separate the email send into a separate macro, use the Macro Run command to run it and leave the display of error messages enabled in the main macro.

kevin Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Been working with this program for 2+ years and still always learning.I've been working with the program for much longer and I'm still learning new things! Here's a challenge to all: If you post a cool topic, tip, or macro on the forum we will feature it in the Macro Express News email newsletter. You will get your name in lights (well in the newsletter and on our website) and receive a cool Macro Express T-shirt. The topic, tip or macro will be selected solely by Insight Software Solutions. Preference will be give to an item that that teaches us (Insight Software Solutions people) something new about Macro Express, or items with the broadest appeal. We will accept and consider nominations. If you spot a topic, tip, or macro that you think is deserving of wider publication (and a T-shirt), let us know and we'll consider it. Here are two recent examples of terrific topics that taught us something completely new about Macro Express. Populate a Multiple Choice Menu from a text variable posted by Cory Jackson. This tip will be featured in the next edition of the Macro Express News that should be available shortly (June 2007). Right Click on a File and Run a Macro posted by Paul Thornett. This tip will be featured in an upcoming edition of the Macro Express News. This item will be also posted as a separate topic to make it available to more forum readers.
