Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example uses the Send event and sends an item with a 'Do not forward' restriction. The sample code must be placed in a class module such as ThisOutlookSession, and the SendMyMail procedure must be called before the event procedure can be called by Microsoft Outlook. Replace 'Dan Wilson' with a valid recipient name before running this example.

Public WithEvents myItem As Outlook.MailItem
  
Sub SendMyMail()
    Set myItem = Outlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    myItem.To = "Dan Wilson"
    myItem.Subject = "Data files information"
    myItem.Send
End Sub

Private Sub myItem_Send(Cancel As Boolean)
     myItem.Permission = olDoNotForward
End Sub
