Creating a macro in tasks with text.
I receive several requests to do different things throughout the day. I
normally drag these emails to my task folder so that they will create a task. In most cases I need to type in a little more detail on each task. For this I have made several notes that I copy and paste the text into the task. I know there has to be an easy way to do this. I'm not sure were to go when trying to make a macro within Outlook. But, I know a lot of you out there could do this in your sleep and I am grateful for any help you can throw my way. Mr L

Creating a macro in tasks with text.
Take a look at the macro sample for adding a date stamp to an item for an
example of what you need your macro to look like. Substitute the text you want to use for the date stamp (Now) in code like that. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Mr. L" wrote in message ...

Creating a macro in tasks with text.
I must be doing something wrong. I am getting a compile error when I am
trying to use some of the code I found. My VBS need work. :-( Even a basic script to just add some text to an email would be perfect. (I'll keep trying and searching.)

That code is VBA macro code, which is what you asked for. It's not VBScript
code, which usually is run only as the code behind the form in a custom Outlook form. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Mr. L" wrote in message ...

Sorry, I didn't realize that I was in a different board. I'm not even sure
what VBA is. Is it even close to VBS? Which would be the best way to handle this? Sorry again. "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: That code is VBA macro code, which is what you asked for.

VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) is what's used for Outlook macros. It's
used also for macros in all the other Office applications. Did you look at that link I provided? It has all the information you need for the basis of the macro you want. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Mr. L" wrote in message ...
