OK, Ken, I tried what you said below and have included my code as I get a new
error message now. It says "variable or block with not set" I feel like it
says that I have not defined the Application line? Am I correct?

my code:
Sub ExGroup_Reply_PW()
'## adds group reply info only
Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem

Set objMail = Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
With objMail
.ReplyRecipients.Add "
End With
End Sub


As for the save portion, that is all greek to me. I am not sure that I would
be able to deploy something like that in this work environment. I am looking
for a simple solution that does not include using sendkeys or something too
complex. It seems that it should be a more simple solution. My sendkeys code
was one line, it works, it just turns off NUM Lock and CAPS lock when ever
that code is run.

The Application part of my advice is easy to follow, just use Application
where you now use myOlApp and get rid of that CreateObject() line.

For the SaveAs, I'd probably construct my own dialog for location, possibly
using the ComDlg controls if those were installed. Otherwise I'd construct a
dialog from scratch or use the Win32 API calls to open the common dialog
Save dialog. VBAccelerator.com has samples of directly using the Win32 API
calls.

Sorry, I am new to VBA in outlook. I have only been doing these for the
past
two days now. I am experienced in VBA in excel and can do nearly anything
in
that. So the reason why I am doing things this way is that they are the
only
way I know how.

To also answer the Saveas question, we need open the saveas dialog box
that
prompts the user for the location that they want to save the file and I
want
to have the type defualt to and outlook .msg file type for archive
purposes.
Many users use the defualt .rtf format and we are trying to be consistant.

I am searching the web for help and this is where I am at as of now.
Thanks
for your advice, though not sure how to apply it.
