Automatically convert email to calendar entry
The best you can do without writing code (post to an Outlook programming
group for that) is to drag and drop the email to your calendar - right clicking before you drag gives you several options for how you want the information transferred. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Automatically convert email to calendar entry
As I indicated by my "The best you can do" means that there is no automatic
method to do what you want. Sorry if my suggesting a method that is not automatic does not meet your exacting standard. So, to be short and to the point, NO, there is no automatic method for doing this but you probably already knew this. Guess you are off to a programming group, right? -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Automatically convert email to calendar entry
Well, I can learn to be even clearer when stating my requirements, so thanks
for that. And yes, it's already (unanswered) at Development. Unfortunately, subject taxonomy assumes that I know (which typye) the solution method already, requiring a choice VBA or Forms. Is this such an unusual request? Several background activities I deal with on a recurring basis are prompted by an email, and distract me from the creative tasks I prefer to dedicate my energy to. The purpose of computers are to emancipate mankind from uninspiring drudge, not create additional petty routines. //DJ "Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: As I indicated by my "The best you can do" means that there is no automatic method to do what you want.

Automatically convert email to calendar entry
No, it is not an unusual request except for the part about it being an
automatic part of Outlook's native, in-built abilities. It is an obscure request for the 99.5% or more of the users of the calendar object so that is why Microsoft provides an Outlook Object Model, programming tools, and several help files, as well as developers who also offer help sites for programming in the missing .5% of requested functionality. Try http://www.outlookcode.com for starters - it is run by Sue Mosher (Outlook MVP) and widely recognized as one of the best help sites Otlook developers ever have. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.
