Out of Office Auto Reply

[Tiger Chen]

In current Outlook OOF assistant, when we turn on the "I'm current out of office", the OOF reminder will be sent to new email sender, no matter you want or not.

I didn't find any way to set the auto reply time period. For example, I will be OOF from tomorrow. I want to turn on the OOF auto reply function now, but want OL to response only from tomorrow. However, OL will send the reminder right after I turn on the assistant. I tried to set rule and advanced rules, however, useless!

Can anybody help?

By the way, do you know how we can set the OOF by VBA? What message will be sent to server when we turn on the OOF assistant?

when you turn your OOF assisstant on, goto rules, and then advanced. then you are able to choose the start date.

Yes, I knew "add rules" and "advanced" settings. However, it just doesn't work. I'm using Outlook 2000.
