Auto Macro's or How To?

[Phil]

Hi all,

in word there are auto macros such as AutoExec, AutoOpen etc etc. Are there
such macro's in Outlook? If so, what are they?

I'm wondering if either:-

1) There is an AutoSend macro that performs the AutoSend procedure at
each 'mail send' request

2) There is method that executes as above

To clarify, I don't want to automatically send emails. I want to perform a
check on every email sent to compare the 'subject' and perform an action
when true.

Hope this makes sense. Would appreciate any help/suggestions.

Thanks,

Phil

Why not using the builtin rules guide and create a rule for when subject
includes specific words?

If you want to use macros instead, I think you nead to create a custom form
and create item_send in that form.
After that always use the custom form to send mail instead of the standard
form.

Hi Henrik,

I cannot use the built-in rules because I need to 'interface' with Excel
depending upon subject line, therefore I am using OLE automation. Also, I
hope (and would think) that I shouldn't have to use a custom form. Surely
there is an OnSend event or something similar that fires every time the send
button is pressed. I just need to know if this is the case and how to use
it.

Thanks for your response.
