How can I insert a repetitive subject line each time I want?

[Guest]

I have numerous emails related to one subject on a daily basis, and would
like to either hit <CTL><R> or any key to delete the reply subject line and
lay in the line of choice, OR use a right-click shortcut if one can be
created.

I have attempted to create a Macro, yet it seems Macros won't do a thing for
the subject line.

Any help?

Did you create your macro in the Outlook VBA module? Try this code:

Sub AddSubject()
On Error Resume Next
Set msg = Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
If Not msg Is Nothing Then
msg.Subject = "something"
End If
End Sub

Thanks Sue!

Unfortunately, I cannot get the Macro to run on the Subject line. No matter
how I configure things, it just won't grab the existing reply subject, delete
and lay in the new one I want. Bummed.

Is there a keyboard shortcut that might handle this?

So, what happens when you use the VBA debugger to step through the code I provided? You did put it in Outlook VBA, not Word VBA, right? (You didn't say what editor you're using for email.)

Is there a keyboard shortcut that might handle this?

Once you have the macro working, we can talk about ways to launch it.
