Good morning, All!

I am having a problem with the following rule creation:

If I receive an e-mail that has an attachment (let's just limit this to .pdf
files for the moment...I am sure that there is a flaw in that
thought-process...I am more interested in the rules creation thought-process
at the moment) and I would like to print both the e-mail itself and the
accompanying attachment how do I do that?

I can print just the e-mail no problem. I can open Adobe Acrobat Reader no
problem. However, I can not get Adobe Reader to open that specific
attachment and I can not get that attachment printed.

Thanks!

Well, out of the box, I don't believe you can. You can get a third party
app (like http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/print_tools/) or write some code
(http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=522,
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=70) to do it.

If the reader can't open the attachment, the code would probably fail as
well, and that sounds like a different problem entirely.

Thanks,

I am glad to find out that I am not "blind". I think that I might just be
purchasing a book by Sue Mosher (again!). BTW - if anyone out there is
looking for books on MS Outlook you might want to consider her books.
Excellent stuff!!!!

Yeah, when it comes to programming, Sue's books are the best. I've also
been using the Special Edition Using Outlook books from Que, but I've always
wondered why they are 'special edition' when it's the *only* edition too, at
least for the non-programming stuff.

f.h.

Because the Que books "Special Edition Using Outlook" are written by MVPs or former MVPs now Microsoft employees (Patricia DiGiacomo). <eg>
