Microsoft Outlook Code? 1

[Kenja824]

I just learned it is possible to use VBA code in Outlook. Looking at it, I see how to insert a module, but I am not sure if that is how I would go about it or not. I suck with VBA and am not much better with Outlook.

Everyone uses Outlook at my work. Right now when we get an email, I get a small message box that pops up dont next to the clock. Unfortunately when I am focused on minute things on the screen, I will never see that pop-up way down int he corner and sometimes when I get an email asking me to come help someone, I wont see the email four a couple hours.

What I want to do....

1) Create code that will attach to my Outlook so that every day when I open outlook it will automatically open as well. In excel the modules we place code in seem to be attached to files and not excel itself. For outlook I want to make sure it opens with the program.

2) When I get new email, I want a message to pop up in the middle of my monitor telling me to check my mail and I want it to stay there until I click OK. That way if I am away from my computer it will still be there when I get back.

Is this possible with Outlook?

Thanks Handleman

I didnt realize I was doing just as you said. Because I started with the other I didnt realize I started putting them together without realizing it. I had everything jacked up. Finally I just deleted all the modules and everything out of Outlook and even the files I downloaded from you and started over. Then once I actually read the shortcut message from you clearer I went into the shortcut I made and added the last bit to the target and bam, it worked. lol

Amazing how critical it can be to actually "read" instructions huh?

I do appreciate the work you put into this and it will do exactly as I was hoping for. And I am even keeping the little sarcastic "Okay Already!" lol

Thankyou very much. I have a feeling there will be a few people here who will want this.
