    Excel email: Outlook not recognizing email ID

    I'm not sure if this belongs in the Excel Programming area, or an Outlook group, but since it begins with Excel I'll start here.

    The macro below picks up a report from the user's desktop and mails it to one of three people: Clarence, Keith, or "someone else". The someone else is where the problem lies ("Case is = 2") . The code works fine when hitting Yes to mail to Keith, or No to mail to Clarence; if I hit cancel, Excel puts up a message box asking for a valid email ID to mail to, so all that is just as designed. However, when I put a valid USERID in, even "[email protected]", which is used elsewhwere in the macro, I get a message back saying Outlook doesn't recognize one or more names. I'd appreciate some help in straightening this out.

    Thanks,
    John

    Joseph,
    I was very excited to get your post, because I was sure that was going to solve all my problems, but no such luck. The added code didn't seem to help at all. BTW, I noticed in my code posted above that I neglected to note that I have "Option Compare Text" at the top of the module.

    JosephP, you're a genius (or at least your eyes are more open than mine)! The missing semi-colon was the problem. Thanks for spotting it, and for seeing what I kept looking past. I hope I can return the favor some day.

    definitely not a genius - I commented that line out when testing at first which is why I thought the resolveall had fixed it!

    Well, you can have your own opinion of yourself, but in my world, right now, rank goes like this:

    Jesus
    My wife
    JosephP
    My mom
    My kids
    My friends
    My boss
    Everyone else

    So, you're way up there!
