Assuming you're using Outlook (2002 here) you could try using a mail
rule - I might try this myself if it works. Perhaps one of the
technical experts would advise if it should do?

Create a new template file by opening mail.oft from your Office
template directory (c:\program files\Microsoft
office\templates\1033\mail.oft here), add your out of office message
to the template text area (nothing else) and then "save as"
interoffice.oft to the same directory.

Then set up a mail rule with the wizard. First "start from a blank
rule",hit next, tick " received in a specific date span",(add the
dates) hit next, tick "reply using a specific template" and aim it at
the template you created, and then finish it. If I'm correct this
would reply to any email between the specific dates, automatically
sending your out of office message.

Anybody know if this would work, or if it could be modified so that it
works?

Regards

Bob
