Well, unfortunately, I don't have the time to study up on the
subject. *I thought I had explained what I was trying to do, but let
me try again.


I want to be able to create a task in Outlook 2003 for certain email
messages based a certain criteria. *The scenario is this. *I am going
to send a message to someone and want to make sure to follow up on
what I ask them to do. *So when I send the message, I also send a
blind copy to myself, by entering my name in the BCC field. * When
this message is delivered to my inbox, I would like for the system to
automatically recognize that this is an email with my name in the BCC
field. *Then to use that message to create a task. For the task, I
want the following things to happen.
1) Copy the original message into the body of the Task
2) Copy the name from the "To" field of the message into the subject
line of the Task
3) Then to copy the subject of the email message and put it in the
subject of the Task, after the name from # 2.
4) I want to populate the category field with the text "@Waiting".
5) I want to move the original email to a reference folder that I
have. *( which is where the entry ID comes from. *I know this entry ID
is correct because I have other macros that move messages to this
folder that work).


I hope this gives a better idea of what I'm trying to do.- Hide quoted text -

Oh, ok then. You should have just said that in the first place rather
than lie about it. Thanks for the help....or lack there of. So much
for the concept of sharing knowledge on the internet.
