Create a macro in Outlook to run a rule
 

Just so I know that I am doing it correctly, through VB or Oulook, I chose
macro and run macro and click ok?

I did that and nothing happened :(

Sorry, that line should have been:

Set colRules = oStore.GetRules()

There is no code module only class module and module, so I used module.

cut and pasted, then ran and got run time error 438, Object does not
support
property or method,
then it higlights this line:
Set colRules = oStore.Rules

.

By the way, I made sure the changed was saved, closed OUtlook, then opened
it, enabled the macros and tried to run it.
I made sure I was in the file it is suppose to run the rule.

But nothing happened, no errors

You will need to set a breakpoint, step the code and see what's going on
with it. To do so click in your macro code on the Set colRules line in the
left hand border of the code module window. The line should then be
highlighted. When you run the macro it will stop on that line.

You can then step the code from there using F8. At each step you can use the
Immediate and Locals windows (View, Immediate Window and Locals Window) to
check the values of various variables and to output information. Then you
can see what's going on.

ok, i tried to "set a break point" to "run to cursor" on several lines but
then when I do that , I try to run the macro, it still does nothing, I hit
continue and it goes through the lines and still nothing happens

I am sorry that I can't do this for you. I have built computers and run a
lot of applicaitons but have never programmed and I appreciate your patience.

It also said that it can't execute in breakmode

I was thinking and I see whatyou are trying to see, but if I put a breakpoint
and nothing happens then I don't see what that shows.

If it goes through 6 lines, let's say then how do we see if it works if all
the lines are not run ?
sorry, just thoughts

The idea is to see if the code runs without any errors, what the values of
the variables is at each step (for example Nothing for a Rules collection
tells us something, as does Nothing for the value of a Rule when you try to
get it), and what exactly is happening when each code line executes.

None of us can test or debug the code on your machine for you, obviously.

Sorry that I cannot do the programming that you want; but it does run without
errors, it is just that the "rule" does not run, when I mean "nothing" I mean
that the rulle does not run, it does not delete the spam in the junk folder.
No boxes open, nothing happens, like I did nothing.

I guess it just can't be done with a macro, thatnks for trying anyway, I'll
just have to do it manually, which is a real pain, but so be it.

What are values of the vairables? Is there a way to see that?

All I know is if I run it and/or brekapoint it , then it either does
nothing, that is litterally nothing happens OR it opens VB and shows me the
first line in yellow

Open the Locals window, that will show all variables in scope and their
values. I mentioned that earlier in the thread.
