Outlook timer

[Alastair MacFarlane]

Dear All

Can someone advise me whether it is possible to create an Outlook Com Add-in
which is loaded on Outlook startup and has a sub that fires every 5 minutes
checking the inbox and moving email contents to a database? Or is this
possible in VBA alone within Outlook 2000?

My question is more to do with the timer firing mechanisim rather than the
other steps. Do I sublass a timer sub or to I load an invisible form with a
timer? What are the likely problems and possible solutions.

Thanks again.

Have you check the Outlook Help under EVENTS, I vaguely seem to recall
that there's an event that firest when new mail is received.
