Automate changing of settings

[Guest]

I found a note posted somewhere that there is no scope in the Outlook Object
Model to use vba to change settings in the Options menu item in Outlook. Is
this true?

I would like to have a quick button to switch the "On Replies and Forwards"
setting to "Do not include origianl message" and back to the default of
including original message text".

Can it be done?

Many thanks in advance

Chris

Yes, this is true. Those settings generally are stored in the registry, which Outlook reads at startup. Any change you make while Outlook is running won't take effect until the next time Outlook starts.

Thanks for the response.

Is there a list available of the registry settings and where they are
located in the registry?

I've documented all those from the Outlk11.adm administrative template, which you can get from the online Office 2003 Resource Kit, and a few besides that in the first book in my signature.
