    Macro does not work on other Outlook client

    Hi,


    I've a working VBA code (see att). What is does: Selecting one or more received mail items in Outlook and the macro put a TAG in front of the subject field on every selected mail item. Then every selected item is forwarded to a specific mail adres.

    Sub ForwardSelectedItems()
    '
    Dim forwardmail As MailItem
    Dim itm As Object
    Dim Xsubject As String
    Dim itmSel As Selection
    Dim n As Long
    Set itmSel = ActiveExplorer.Selection
    n = itmSel.Count
    Do While n > 0
        Set itm = itmSel.Item(n)
        Xsubject = itm.Subject
        If itm.Class = olMail Then
            Set forwardmail = itm.Forward
            forwardmail.Recipients.Add emailto@testdomain.com
            forwardmail.Subject = "[TAG] " & Xsubject
            forwardmail.Display
            forwardmail.Send
        End If
        n = n - 1
    Loop
    End Sub
    The code works fine on one outlook client. Same macro on other pc outlook gives an error "Compile error: Syntaxerror".

    On both outlook clients the object library reference "Microsoft Outlook 16.0 Object Library" is selected.

    First thing I would check is to make sure each PCs are running the exact same version of Outlook. Even if they are referencing the same object, the Outlook application itself may cause issues if they're far apart version wise.

    The "Compile error: Syntax error" that you are encountering when running the VBA code on a different Outlook client may be due to a difference in the version of Microsoft Outlook or a difference in the VBA environment settings. Hello Neighbor
