Automatic Response

[Guest]

I have set up automatic reponses in Outlook. I may receive a number of
requests from the same email address in a single session. Each request is
distinquished by key words in the subject line. I also delete the income
email when I have replied. I'm stymied because of the single response for
email site per session. Is there way through VBA to overcome this
limitation. Can I some how reset the flag. or some how stop and restart
Outlook after each reply? There has got to be a way to get around it.

Thanks

Are you talking about out of office replies? That setting is set on the
server. To avoid it don't turn on out of office and just handle everything
in code.

Can you tell me where to go to find out how I do this?

Speak to your Exchange admins, only they can change those settings and they
would have to be changed on an organizational basis. So I doubt they'd
consider it. How it gets changed depends on what version of Exchange server
you're running.

I'm not on a server. I'm using Outlook on my home machine and connect to
Hotmail for email. I'm interested in learning how to write a VBA app that
will answer these message and send the replies.

Well that has nothing to do with out of office then. You would need to
handle new items coming into your Inbox and do something with them.

Take a look at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/zaphtml.htm for an example
of an Inbox add handler. You would need to do something similar.
