Creating Message rules in Access

[FBxiii]

Is it possible to create Outlook message rules using VBA from Access? I want
to automate sending auto-replies back to my ebay customers. The subject line
will contain the unique item number (stored in my db) and I want to send a
pre-created email back when I receive an email from paypal containing the
item ID. I know I can do replies from access but I dont want my DB running
all the time. I run Outlook and my 2nd PC and always leave it on (basically
a mail server).

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks, Steve

That's possible only if you have Outlook 2007. If you do, Outlook Developer Help has good how-to articles on using the new Rules collection.
