OutlookEX UDF

[sbrady]

here is the result of running the script. Outlook is NOT open when I run the script. I am not sure where things are going wrong.

Does the specified folder "*\Outlook-UDF-Test\TargetFolder\Mail" exist?

$oItem = _OL_ItemCreate($oOutlook, $olMailItem, "*\Outlook-UDF-Test\TargetFolder\Mail", "", "Subject=TestMail", "BodyFormat=" & $olFormatHTML, _

I am a Mac user...........am I looking in C:........program files?..........my documents?..........where

[sbrady]

is this a folder in Outlook???

[water]

Correct,

this is a folder in Outlook.

When you run your example script do you get message "Testenvironment already exists. Should it be deleted and recreated?"

If yes, do you click YES, NO or CANCEL?

[sbrady]

"Testenvironment already exists. Should it be deleted and recreated?"

If yes, do you click YES, NO or CANCEL?

yup, that is what I get, I click yes......delete and recreate.......but I dont see that folder structure anywhere

[water]

Could you please remove all "Outlook-UDF-Test" folders from your "Deleted items" folder and re-run the script?

[sbrady]

I deleted all items in the deleted items icon in Outlook, I also deleted the recycle bin. Running the script still tells me Testenvironment already exists.

[water]

That's fine. But when you then click YES the currently existing test environment should be deleted and a new one created. Your script should then create the mail item just fine (at least I hope so).

[sbrady]

so when I click yes, I should see a folder called "Outlook-UDF-Test" in the Mail Items list.........next to "Drafts"......"Inbox"......"Outbox"....."Sent Items".......etc.

I dont see the folder so cant I just make a folder with that name.

[sbrady]

I got a test appointment pop up window...........arent we making an outgoing email.......thats my goal.

[water]

That's OK too. The testenvironment is created with a lot of test items - including a test appointment.

Does your script still crash?

[water]

so when I click yes, I should see a folder called "Outlook-UDF-Test" in the Mail Items list.........next to "Drafts"......"Inbox"......"Outbox"....."Sent Items".......etc.

I dont see the folder so cant I just make a folder with that name.

You click on the folders icon - or Ctrl+6 - to display all folders and you will see a "Outlook-UDF-Test" folder.

[sbrady]

OK I see it.........but doesnt the script just make a reminder or calendar event.......the icon is a calendar........how do I get it to make a new outgoing email with a recipient, subject and body.

[water]

Does your script still crash?

If not, I will tell you where to find the created mail

[sbrady]

Ok I open the SourceFolder or TargetFolder, I see an email in the yellow Mail folder........great.......is it possible to:

1. put someones email address in the To: field.

2. remove the attachment.

3. put in my own subject title

4. put the text I want in the body.

I think we are almost there.

[water]

If your test script ran successfully you should find a mail in folder "Outlook-UDF-TestTargetFolderMail" with todays date and subject "TestMail".

Is it there?

[sbrady]

well.......an email is there......there is no date. Subject says ""TestMail". The body of the email says Bodytext in bold. There is an attachment which is nice but I do not need for my purposes. I think I can use in input box to get text and put that in the script. How or where do I add a recipient. Thanks.

[water]

Does your example script create an attachment ... NO, if you use the code you previously posted.

So the mail you see with an attachment can't be the mail created by your script.

Any other mails in this folder?

[sbrady]

I deleted the 2 emails in the SourceFolder and TargetFolder. Then I ran the script. I got a new email with NO attachment, NO name in the TO:

where in the script do I add a recipient.
