EmailMsgBox

This is an example of extending VBA by creating a new function.

Problem:

You want to pop up a MsgBox to the user but also send an email to yourself that something went wrong.

Another way to do this would be to log the error to a file and then have an Excel/VBA process to monitor the file.



Function EmailMsgBox(sText As String) As Variant
'This routine will email the support person and display a message box
Dim sOrigText As String

sOrigText = sText

WarnDev sText



MsgBox sOrigText

If Dir("C:\stop.txt") <> "" Then
    Stop
End If



End Function
