Hi everybody,

I have written some VBA code to create a work log in Excel and when a user

clicks on a button it exports the sender , date and subject of an email to an

Excel file and when he finishes the job he clicks on another button and sends

a new record to Excel. My code works based on the open or Highlighted email

object so when an operator works on an email request and receives several new

email after that in order to correctly match his worklog records he needs to

go back to original email and highlight it or open it and then click the

"Done" button. My question is : it is possibile to keep track of openning

email ( original request) somehow that when we want to send the "Done" it can

find the original email among hndreds of emails and send a new record to

Excel.

TO restate my question: Is there an efficent way to lets say have a userform

( keeping a list of email that an operator has opend to work on ) and then

the same user can go to that list and select it and send correct info to

Excel file.

My other question would be: if i have a sendr name and email recived date

how can I find the same email object among hundreds of emails ?

I use OL2003 and exchange server 2003

Best regards,

Edward
 
If you have a reference to an item get the EntryID property, then to

retrieve that item again later use the NameSpace.GetItemFromID() method with

that persisted EntryID value. You can omit the optional StoreID property (it

refers to the mailbox or PST file), or you can get it and use it. To get

StoreID use something like this, where "item" is the selected item:

Dim strStoreID As String

strStoreID = item.Parent.StoreID

item.Parent refers to the folder the item lives in and that object exposes

the StoreID property.

Ken,

I'm not an expert in outlook programming , so sorry if i'm asking a trivial

question, I got the EntryID and I keep its value in a modul level string

variable to use it in other procedures later. the problem i have I can only

retrieve it's value once

like

msgbox myNameSPace.GetItemFromID(myID).SenderName

after this code runs and displays the correct data somehow myID variable

which holds the vaure of the EntryId gets cleared and it's value becomes

empty "" so the next time when I run the same code I get an error.

I don't know why this variable dosn't keep the value? any thoughts?

Best regards,

Edward
