Excel / Outlook Express
Hi. I am wondering if it is possible to use OLE automation from Excel to
create rules in Outlook express? I cannot find any 'Macros' type options in Outlook Express so am not sure if it will be possible. I want to be able to automatically create rules to send a reply to messages with certain words in the Subject. There is a reference number that will change for each message and I want to reply with a specific message for each 'item'. Cheers! Steve |
Excel / Outlook Express
Excel is part of the Office family, while Outlook Express is actually
a part of Windows. So I don't believe it's possible, but you could post in microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress and find out.

Further to JP's reply, I'm fairly certain that OE doesn't expose expose itself via an object model in the same way that Outlook does. So the answer to your question is "no". |

These resources are more appropriate (I think):
http://www.outlookcode.com/ http://www.slipstick.com/ If you can't find an answer there, than you probably can't do what you want to do...however VBA is very powerful so if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Yes - but these are for Outlook, which is a completely different programme from Outlook Express. The latter is not part of the MS Office suite, and doesn't support VBA. |
