Hi,

I've created a userfrom to create an e-mail based on the values of text boxes, combo boxes and checkboxes.
Below is what I have written so far, and yes it is a mess. Just started with coding and learning but I couldn't find an answer on my "problem".
How can I simplify this?

Another thing: when I tick the checkbox "Partial" I want to have the text in the e-mail changed to "Please dispatch this order partially TODAY using ".

VBA Code:
Private Sub Createbtn_Click()
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim olEmail As Outlook.MailItem

Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
Set olEmail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

With olEmail
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
.Display
.To = "test@test.nl"
.CC = "test@test.nl"
.Subject = "SO " & TumbaSO.Value & " (PO " & Koopbrief.Value & ")"
    If cbETA.Value = True And cbForwarder.Value = True Then
.Body = "Dear Team," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine _
        & "Please dispatch this order TODAY using " & Deliverymethod.Value & " " & Incoterm.Value & " to:" _
        & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & Address.Value & vbNewLine _
        & vbNewLine & "Forwarder: " & txtForwarder.Value & vbNewLine & "Account: " & txtFWDAccount.Value _
        & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "ETA: " & cbDay.Value & " " & cbMonth.Value & " " & cbYear.Value _
        & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Kind regards," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & cbRequestedby.Value _
        & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Alfa Laval Nijmegen B.V."

    ElseIf cbETA.Value = True Then
.Body = "Dear Team," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine _
        & "Please dispatch this order TODAY using " & Deliverymethod.Value & " " & Incoterm.Value & " to:" _
        & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & Address.Value & vbNewLine _
        & vbNewLine & "ETA: " & cbDay.Value & " " & cbMonth.Value & " " & cbYear.Value _
        & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Kind regards," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & cbRequestedby.Value _
        & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Alfa Laval Nijmegen B.V."

   ElseIf cbForwarder.Value = True Then
.Body = "Dear Team," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine _
        & "Please dispatch this order TODAY using " & Deliverymethod.Value & " " & Incoterm.Value & " to:" _
        & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & Address.Value & vbNewLine _
        & vbNewLine & "Forwarder: " & txtForwarder.Value & vbNewLine & "Account: " & txtFWDAccount.Value _
        & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Kind regards," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & cbRequestedby.Value _
        & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Alfa Laval Nijmegen B.V."
    
    Else
.Body = "Dear Team," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine _
        & "Please dispatch this order TODAY using " & Deliverymethod.Value & " " & Incoterm.Value & " to:" _
        & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & Address.Value & vbNewLine _
        & vbNewLine & "Kind regards," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & cbRequestedby.Value _
        & vbNewLine & "Alfa Laval Nijmegen B.V."

     End If

End With

End sub

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Hi @flea80 : Thanks for posting on the forum.

I made some tweaks to simplify the code and also, of course, included the word "partilly".

Please try the following code:

VBA Code:
Private Sub Createbtn_Click()
  Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
  Dim olEmail As Outlook.MailItem
  Dim body1 As String, body2 As String, body3 As String
  Dim vbn As Variant
  
  Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
  Set olEmail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
  vbn = vbNewLine           'Just to make it shorter
  
  With olEmail
    .BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
    .Display
    .To = "test@test.nl"
    .CC = "test@test.nl"
    .Subject = "SO " & TumbaSO.Value & " (PO " & Koopbrief.Value & ")"
    
    body1 = "Dear Team," & vbn & vbn & "Please dispatch this order" & IIf(Partial, " partially ", " ") _
      & "TODAY using " & Deliverymethod.Value & " " & Incoterm.Value & " to:" & vbn & vbn & Address.Value & vbn
    
    body3 = vbn & "Kind regards," & vbn & vbn & cbRequestedby.Value _
            & vbn & vbn & "Alfa Laval Nijmegen B.V."
    
    If cbETA.Value = True And cbForwarder.Value = True Then
      body2 = vbn & "Forwarder: " & txtForwarder.Value & vbn & "Account: " & txtFWDAccount.Value _
              & vbn & vbn & "ETA: " & cbDay.Value & " " & cbMonth.Value & " " & cbYear.Value & vbn
    
    ElseIf cbETA.Value = True Then
      body2 = vbn & "ETA: " & cbDay.Value & " " & cbMonth.Value & " " & cbYear.Value & vbn
    
    ElseIf cbForwarder.Value = True Then
      body2 = vbn & "Forwarder: " & txtForwarder.Value & vbn & "Account: " & txtFWDAccount.Value & vbn
    End If
    
    .Body = body1 & body2 & body3
  End With
End Sub


Let me know the result and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Hi Dante,

Thank you for your reply.
In the mean time I was digging on line to find a solution and my code now looks like this:

VBA Code:
Private Sub CreateSIbtn_Click()
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim olEmail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim defaultBody As String
Dim endBody As String

defaultBody = "Dear Team," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine _
        & "Please dispatch this order TODAY using " & Deliverymethod.Value & " " & Incoterm.Value & " to:" _
        & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & Address.Value

partialBody = "Dear Team," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine _
        & "Please create a PARTIAL shipment and dispatch this order TODAY using " & Deliverymethod.Value & " " & Incoterm.Value & " to:" _
        & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & Address.Value

ETABody = vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "ETA: " & cbDay.Value & " " & cbMonth.Value & " " & cbYear.Value

FwdBody = vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Forwarder: " & txtForwarder.Value & vbNewLine & "Account: " & txtFWDAccount.Value

endBody = vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Kind regards," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & cbRequestedby.Value _
          & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Alfa Laval Nijmegen B.V."


Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
Set olEmail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

If TumbaSO.Value = "" Then
 
    MsgBox "Tumba SO is required", vbCritical
    Exit Sub
 
End If
 
If Koopbrief.Value = "" Then
 
    MsgBox "PO (koopbrief) is required", vbCritical
    Exit Sub
 
End If

If Deliverymethod.Value = "" Then
 
    MsgBox "Delivery method is required", vbCritical
    Exit Sub
 
End If

If Incoterm.Value = "" Then
 
    MsgBox "Incoterm is required", vbCritical
    Exit Sub
 
End If

If Address.Value = "" Then
 
    MsgBox "Addressfield is required", vbCritical
    Exit Sub

End If
   
If cbForwarder.Value = True Then GoTo Forwarder Else GoTo ForwarderNotChecked
Forwarder:
If txtForwarder.Value = "" Or txtFWDAccount.Value = "" Then
 
    MsgBox "Forwarder name and account is required", vbCritical
Exit Sub
ForwarderNotChecked:
   
End If

If cbETA.Value = True Then GoTo ETA Else GoTo ETANotChecked
ETA:
If cbDay.Value = "" Or cbMonth.Value = "" Or cbYear.Value = "" Then
 
   MsgBox "ETA date is required", vbCritical
    Exit Sub
ETANotChecked:
End If

MsgBox "E-mail created. Please check.", vbInformation, "Email created"

With olEmail
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
.Display
.To = "test@test.nl"
.CC = "test@test.nl"
.Subject = "SO " & TumbaSO.Value & " (PO " & Koopbrief.Value & ")"
'All checkboxes TRUE
    If cbETA.Value = True And cbForwarder.Value = True And cbPartial = True Then
.Body = partialBody & FwdBody & ETABody & endBody

'ETA
    ElseIf cbETA.Value = True And cbPartial = True Then
.Body = partialBody & ETABody & endBody

    ElseIf cbETA.Value = True And cbForwarder.Value = True Then
.Body = defaultBody & FwdBody & ETABody & endBody
   
    ElseIf cbETA.Value = True Then
.Body = defaultBody & ETABody & endBody

'Forwarder
     ElseIf cbForwarder.Value = True And cbPartial = True Then
.Body = partialBody & FwdBody & endBody

    ElseIf cbForwarder.Value = True Then
.Body = defaultBody & FwdBody & endBody

'Partial
    ElseIf cbPartial = True Then
.Body = partialBody & endBody

    Else
.Body = defaultBody & endBody

     End If

End With

'MsgBox "E-mail created. Please check.", vbInformation, "Email created"

End Sub

Still too long I guess, but for now it's working. I'm going through your code again to find the things I could use to improve, but you've helped me great so far!

Thnx!
