Hi
I have a task to perform in Outlook 2003.
I have some experiance in programming but as Outlook seems to lack a record macro capability, I must write the code from scartch, I need help getting this done.
Basically, I get an email ( I fact I get a lot of these emails ) That I am required to respond to in a particular fashion. These emails all have the same subject so I have no issues in determining what emails to respond to.
This project will be built in multiple phase's so I can learn as I go.
any macros or functions should be accessible either by a key sequence or customized menu options.
Phase 1
After I hit reply or reply all for a given email. and examine it I need
a macro or macros that do the following:
Step 1 - Clear the To, CC, BCC and Subject Lines.
Step 2 - The Subject Line gets populated with canned text.
Step 3 - The macro puts in canned text in the email body.
Phase 2 - Expanding the above 3 steps.
Step 1 - After clearing the 3 fields I search the email body to determine who to respond to and put the equired info in the To and CC list.
Step 2 - The canned text is augmented with information gleamed from the email body.
Step 3 - The text used in step 3 above is augmented with information gleamed from the original email body.
What I would like is for someone to map out the steps and guide me in writing the code.
I DO NOT WANT THE CODE WRITTEN FOR ME.
Any takers?
