Hope someone can give me a hand with this.

I have a VB app in which I have implemented a feature to allow the user to
double click on an email address in an entryfield to open outlook and send to
that email address.

I’d like to take this another step. After they type in their email message
and subject, and click on send, the email is sent to the Outlook outbox and
ultimately to the sent folder.

I’d like to retrieve the message and subject they entered and sent, and
store this in another database. I assume I would need to continuously check
the outbox and/or the sent box for the email. But what can I use to locate
the email. I would not have the subject to search for. Is there some other
property I can use to locate this email? Is there a property value I can
assign some unique number after they double click on the entryfield, and
before they prepare the email and click on send in Outlook, that would give
me something to locate the email? Ot do I simply locate the last email sent
in the Outbox? Anyone have any code they could share for this?

Many thanks for any help or ideas on this,
Mark

Do you create the e-mail by code? If so then you do have a reference to it
and can receive the item's events:

Private WithEvents m_Mail as outlook.MailItem

Private Sub m_Mail_Send(Cancel As Boolean)
' get here the subject
End Sub
