    Trouble posting a new thread

    I am trying to post a new thread to the "Outlook Help" forum.

    When I try to post the thread, I get the following error: "Post denied. New posts are limited by number of URLs it may contain and checked if it doesn't contain forbidden words."

    I am trying to post some VBA code surrounded by the Code tags.

    Does anyone know what the issue is?

    Put the entire text in a txt file exactly the way you're trying, zip that, and attach to this thread

    How do I post the code inside the code tags in the appropriate forum without getting the "Post Denied" error?

    I want to be able to post the code, then reference the part of the code that gives me the run-time error to see if someone has some thoughts on how to tweak the code.

    Thank you.

    Not sure why you are having issues posting. Go to the Test sub forum and try posting small amounts of code. To wrap within the correct tags simply highlight your supplied code and click the Hash Tag icon

    1 looked through your txt file and nothing jumps out me either

    I pasted the code in CODE tags and there were no issues

    Maybe just trying a sub or function at a time to see if there's something hinky in a line
