Message Rules

[Keith]

I work for a large organisation and have reached the limit of my message
rules, I therefore want to try and use VBA to move messages from certain
people or with certain subjects to various sub-folders of my inbox (also
consider exceptions e.g. 'Out of Office replies'). We use Outlook 2000 on a
2000 exchange server, I am completely new to VB in Outlook, can anyone give
me the basics and I can build from them?

Thank you in advance

Keith

Thanks Sue,

I have been reading the links and playing about with things but am still no
further forward, can you give me a basic script so I can see how it works
then I can expand from there?

I don't know how to get any more basic than the samples on that page. You can also look at the one at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/quarexe.htm, which moves messages.

Maybe you should ask specific questions about the pieces you think you're missing.

Hi Sue,

Thanks for the direction, I have got my code working ok with 2 small
exceptions, the first is nothing to do with Outlook but McAfee which always
tries to block the script from running saying that it looks suspicious, the
2nd however is a pop up box within Outlook which states:-

A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook.
Do you want to allow this?

It then gives me an option to allow access for up to 10 minutes, is there
any code that I can use to by-pass this notification or to automatically
allow access for an unlimited time?

Thanks Again for your help

Keith

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm for your options with regard to the "object model guard" security in Outlook 2000 SP2 and later versions.
