Outlook 2003 Send and File

[Ray Batig]

Greetings,

My company just migrated from Lotus Notes to Outlook. As I understand it,
when I send a message it is automatically stored in the sent file. In LN
there was a feature button that let you send the message and file it in a
folder without placing it in the sent file. Is there something like this in
Outlook? If not, could it be programmed in VB?

Thanks for your help!

Ray

It's relatively easy to do in VBA. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/setsavefolder.htm

Thanks Sue!!

That works perfectly. Looks like I have some programming to learn. I do some
Excel VB coding, however, this is somewhat different.

Thanks Sue!!

I opened Outlook today and created and sent a message, however, the file
folder selection screen did not pop up. Do I have to change some settings to
keep this macro permanent? I placed it in 'This Outlook Session' as the
article said.

Thanks for your help!

Does other VBA code run? Check your settings under Tools | Macro | Security. FWIW, I leave mine at Medium so I always know VBA is running when it puts up its prompt.

Sue,

Checked and found set at High. Lowered it to Medium. Closed Outlook and
restarted. Wrote and sent a test message. No pop up.....

Strange it worked the first day and not now. Don't know if it matters,
however, I am running ver 6.00.2800.1123.

Thanks again for your help!

Sue,

I found it. The macro had to be signed and published. It is a very sad state
of affairs when you can't even run your own code ( or copied code ) without
having to go through that mess.

Thanks for all your help! The macro is great.
