Outlook Attachment Reminder

This Outlook macro will politely remind you to attach a file if it finds the word "attach" in your email and no actual attached file.

Adding a macro to Outlook is easy. Just copy everything below starting with "Private Sub" through "End Sub." In Outlook, select the "Tools | Macro | Visual Basic Editor" menu option. You may need to expand the project by clicking the plus signs under Project1 until you see ThisOutlookSession, and double-click it. Click into the big white empty page and hit Paste.

Click Save and you'll be all set. If you've previously disabled macros you'll need to enable them.
*Note: Outlook Express doesn't support macros.
*Update: Outlook counts files used in Signatures as attachments. If your signature uses one or more files, find the line intStandardAttachCount = 0 and make it equal the number of files in your signature.

Copy and Paste this:

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)Dim m As Variant
Dim strBody As String
Dim intIn As Long
Dim intAttachCount As Integer, intStandardAttachCount As Integer
On Error GoTo handleError
'Edit the following line if you have a signature on your email that includes images or other files. Make intStandardAttachCount equal the number of files in your signature.
intStandardAttachCount = 0
strBody = LCase(Item.Body)
intIn = InStr(1, strBody, "original message")
If intIn = 0 Then intIn = Len(strBody)
intIn = InStr(1, Left(strBody, intIn), "attach")
intAttachCount = Item.Attachments.Count
If intIn > 0 And intAttachCount <= intStandardAttachCount Then
 
    m = MsgBox("It appears that you mean to send an attachment," & vbCrLf & "but there is no attachment to this message." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Do you still want to send?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo + vbMsgBoxSetForeground)
    If m = vbNo Then Cancel = True
 
End If
handleError:
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    MsgBox "Outlook Attachment Reminder Error: " & Err.Description, vbExclamation, "Outlook Attachment Reminder Error"
End If
End Sub
