Importing Rule to Outlook through command line

[Guest]

How can I import "Rules" to Microsof Office Outlook 2003 through command
line. Can I use VC++ automation for the same? Is there any other methods for
doing that from outside outlook?

No, you can't import rules that way. What are you trying to accomplish and
in what kind of environment? If you want to centrally manage and deploy
rules in an Exchange environment consider this Exchange tool;

If you decide to order use "4PM76A8" to get a discount.

Thank you Roady, But I would like to import some rule from an external
application. I am using VC++ for developing the application. So can you
suggest me another solution for that.

In what kind of environment and for what purpose/what are you trying to
achieve?

Thank you; My network having a shared rule file (.rwz) which is provided by
our network administrator. It will be changing every time. So I need to
import rule file all time; manually imorting them is very difficult. Then I
have written a VC++ program for importing the file to Outlook through command
line. But I didn't find any such command in Outlook. I am using Outlook 2003
(Os: Win XP)

There is no way to do this through a command line. Deploying a macro code
could do the job as well but doesn't exactly reduce complexity and in either
case users are able to temper with it. If you are managing things centrally,
you should also maintain it centrally meaning controlling it on the server
instead of at client level.
