[CMC]

is there a way to put code behind the 'send/receive'
button in Outlook 2000?

You could create your own button with whatever code you want behind it
but you can't modify the actions of a built-in button.

Hi,

I think Ken is right (in every case *smile*) ... but (having ol.xp or
ol.2k3) you can write code triggered of the application Item_Send event.
Isn't it possible with ol.2k?

Thanx Michael

Not always right

Item_Send can be trapped in Outlook 2000. A new button can also be
created with whatever desired code behind it and the default button
can be disabled or made invisible (.Visible = False) and the custom
button can be used to replace the default button.

That's what I do with my Reminder Manager Outlook addin. If the
Outlook version is 2002 or later I find the "Reminder Window" button
in the View menu and replace it with my own "Reminder Manager" button.
