You need to check the Class property to determine what type of item you're working with. Once you know what, the object browser will tell you want methods are available: Press ALt+F11 to open the VBA environment in Outlook, then press F2. Switch from <All Libraries> to Outlook to browse all Outlook objects and their properties, methods, and events. Select any object or member, then press F1 to see its Help topic.
