Outlook Programming

[Fherrera]

Hi, i'm used VBA in both access and excel. It seems by far easier to "access" the VB environment in Excel than any other MS App. I'm assuming you can use VBA in other apps from MS Office 97. But, how do I access it in Outlook. I managed to look at the drawing of a received message code. Ie. grid the message, some extra tabs.. not real VBA??

I'm most interested in implementing a function that I saw earlier in the thread:

Private Sub Application_NewMail()
MsgBox "*Ding* You've got mail!"
End Sub

Ie. an event for receiving a new message in Outlook, but where do I start coding this? What are the objects in Access where can I find them?

Sorry for the quick question. It seems Outlook 2000 is where VBA is first allowed... unless you access outlook objects from other VBA-able applications like Excel.

This, I would guess means you can't get events/actions working in Outlook 97.

Oh well.
