Capture selected text

[Guest]

Hi,

Frequently I receive email which contain reference numbers to records in a
database. The references are in the subject or in the body of the email. Now
I select these numbers and copy them, go to another application, paste the
number and lookup the record.
This must be automated, and I know how. But I don't know the VBA code to
capture the selected text/number from the email so I can use this in other
VBA code to open the record in the database.

Is there a way?

Thanks for your help.
René

Outlook itself offers no way for both. For selected text in the body you
yould use Redemption from www.dimastr.com. For the one in the subject you´re
dependent on the Win32 API.
