Need a place to start

[strychtur]

Hello all,

I'm not sure where to start explaining what I need. I guess what I'm
looking for is a utility like MessageSave. Here at the the office they
have asked me to come up with something similar. They want to save
emails to a network drive. AS you know when you click & drag the email
to a folder it saves it with the subject as the name and .msg as type.
Looks like this 'Subject.msg' that is fine however...

I want to be able to save it with From: , Subject, Date recieved as
the name if it is a recieved email or To:, Subject Date sent if it is
a sent email. So it should look like 'Subject,From,Date Recieved.msg'
or 'Subject,From,Date Sent.msg'

I am new at this so please be gentle. Thanks a ton for your time.

Cheers,
John

If you're planning to create something for other people to run, that generally means an Outlook add-in. Not a simple task, I'm afraid. You can start at http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=36 and http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=42. If you have specific follow-up questions, your Outlook version and programming platform will be critical information.

A primer on the syntax for working with Outlook properties is located here: http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=38

The method used to save a message to the file system is MailItem.SaveAs.
