Search for 2 words in oReceivedMail.Subject with InStr

Hi,

I managed to get InStr working - it has to serach for a word in the mail subject.
Now my colleague wants it to serach for 2 words and I cannot find the right syntax :(

Hope someone can help me out :friends:

I need it to look for both arrival confirmation and delivery confirmation, if it is either one of them it has to be changed to Payment reminder - past due invoice

Thanks - have a nice day

Code:

---

If InStr(1, LCase(oReceivedMail.Subject), "arrival confirmation", vbTextCompare) <> 0 Then oNewMail.Subject = "Payment reminder - past due invoice: "

---

Code:

---

If InStr(1, LCase(oReceivedMail.Subject), "arrival confirmation") > 0 Or _
  InStr(1, LCase(oReceivedMail.Subject), "delivery confirmation") > 0 Then
    oNewMail.Subject = "Payment reminder - past due invoice: "
End If

Hi gmayor

thanks for input :)
But it doesn't work - it changes from arrival to Payment, but from delivery to nothing/blank subject :(

It will work if the test finds the exact texts in the Subject text of the message oReceivedMail.

Select a message and test it with

Code:

---

Sub Macro1()
Dim oReceivedMail As MailItem
Dim oNewMail As MailItem
    Set oReceivedMail = ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1)
    Set oNewMail = CreateItem(olMailItem)
    If InStr(1, LCase(oReceivedMail.Subject), "arrival confirmation") > 0 Or _
      InStr(1, LCase(oReceivedMail.Subject), "delivery confirmation") > 0 Then
        oNewMail.Subject = "Payment reminder - past due invoice: "
        oNewMail.Display
    End If
End Sub

Ok, maybe it would be easier if you saw the entire code :)
I am a newbie and not sure how I can implement the example code into mine.

Code:

The code you have posted is only part of the picture and serves to complicate matters even more. For example the macro does not indicate what oReceivedMail is nor what oNewMail is. Clearly they relate to a pair of messages, but the macro code you have shown has no idea what they refer to. There are also variables that have not been declared.
The code sequence I originally posted should be inserted where the message oNewMail is created.

I see your point. We have 5 Modules and 9 Forms - as I said I am a newbie and not fully up to speed with either VBA in general nor our code :)
Think it would be to time consuming for you if I sent you the entire .OTM file ... so I will try to contact the guy who made our macros and see if he can solve this with me.
Thanks for trying
