    Need help writing a macro for when a value is changed in my form (send an email)

    Hi all,

    I am desperate for basic help with writing a macro.

    I am creating a mini IT support system.

    When using the form (see image attached), I want an email notification to be sent when a new ticket has been opened (this could perhaps be using ID, or opened date.

    I have tried researching and writing macros but nothing works! can someone please help?

    i guess in your SAVE and NEW button....or email btn.

    Code:
    sub btnSaveAndNew_Click()
    dim sTo as string, sSubj as string , sBody as string
    
    sTo = txtEmail
    sSub = "case# " & txtID 
    sBody = "your problem has been logged"
    
    'if msgbox("Send email") = vbYes then
        docmd.SendObject acSendForm ,"frmMyForm",acFormatPDF,sTo,,,sSubj,sBody
    'endif
    end sub

    Thanks Ranman - is there a way in which I can edit the output (it is saving too many screenshots - and as a pdf at the moment). This is all good progress though... thanks!
