shaggy89,

The link you are pointing to is Jos's excellent mailer.  Get a copy of the script, read through it and use SCiTe to add a messagebox outside of the functions.

Hint: Don't change anything in either of the functions, the code you need to work with is at the top of that link.

Use the Help file for anything that you do not understand...

Cheers,

im guessing you pointing me to this spot here

If @error Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error sending message", "Error code:" & @error & "  Description:" & $rc)
EndIf

but is that only if it has an error ?  how do it get to say Email sent ?

I'm also guessing that I would have to add this at the end of it or can it be at the start?

An If..Then can be an If..Then..Else

If 5 > 6 Then
 Consolewrite("5 is greater than 6" & @LF)
Else
 Consolewrite("5 is not greater than 6" & @LF)
EndIf

I don't know Jos's email UDF but I imagine your problem is that you call a function to send an email and then you can't see how to know if the email was sent successfully and so you don't know if you should show a message.

Assuming that is the situation then it is probably quite simple. I would expect that the function you call returns something to tell you what happened. So it would be something like this

 
  $doSendMail = SendMailFunc($param1, $param2....);$doSendMail is set to the returned value of the function
 
 if $doSendMail = $success then
 MsgBox(...
else
