Scipts for rules in 07

[john]

Hi guys, the boss has asked me to find a way to get a script that does the following:

There are about 100 computers and we would like to setup some rules in them separately.

Mail from <Person here> with <words in subject/body> forwards to <these people>.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Ok i exported a rule. Now is there anyway to make a script that:

Opens Outlook
Open the rule manager
Clicks Options
Imports Rule from a memory stick (or desktop whatever)
Then Ticks the box and presses ok

Thanks

I looked up send keys...


Is it essentially a macro keystroke recorder?

If not could you show me how to use it?

Thanks!

Actually, I forgot Outlook 2007 can create rules programmatically so if all
the users have 2007, that might be the way to go. Check outlookcode.com or
the Outlook programming group on this server. (If you aren't accessing this
directly from a Microsoft server and the Outlook programming group is not
carried by your host, visit
http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx or point your
newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com to find it.)

Sendkeys is needed to import RWZ - this is the only way to get them into
older versions. You don't need a 3rd party program - VB, VBA and .Net
support sendkeys. I think WSH supports it but I'm not real familiar with WSH
and could be wrong.
