Macro to Run Rules

[Kash]

How can I run only specific rules in 2007?

The code sample at http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1266 shows
how to run all rules against the Inbox. If you want to run only certain
rules, return each rule using myRules.Item("name of rule") and then call its
Execute method.

I'm able to run only one macro.. 'Clear categories'

Code?

Sub RunAllInboxRules()
Dim st As Outlook.Store
Dim myRules As Outlook.Rules
Dim rl As Outlook.Rule
Dim count As Integer
Dim ruleList As String
'On Error Resume Next

' get default store (where rules live)
Set st = Application.Session.DefaultStore
' get rules
Set myRules = st.GetRules

' iterate all the rules
For Each rl In myRules
' determine if it's an Inbox rule
If rl.RuleType = olRuleReceive Then
' if so, run it
rl.Execute ShowProgress:=True
count = count + 1
ruleList = ruleList & vbCrLf & rl.Name
End If
Next

' tell the user what you did
ruleList = "These rules were executed against the Inbox: " & vbCrLf &
ruleList
MsgBox ruleList, vbInformation, "Macro: RunAllInboxRules"

Set rl = Nothing
Set st = Nothing
Set myRules = Nothing
End Sub

If you step through the code in the debugger, what happens inside the For
Each loop?
