At my work, on some work desktops clicking related "messages in this conversation" shows in the main Outlook window. On some other work desktops, it pops up a new "Advanced Find" window and show them in there. I do not believe there are any settings in the main options panel to control this. Is...

Hi Diane. I login to Windows. I open Outlook. No macro notification/prompt. Macros do not work. I close Outlook. I re-open Outlook. No macro notification/prompt. Macros DO work. Are you saying that is expected behavior? Or are you saying I *should* be seeing a notification?

When I login to my Windows 10 desktop, I open Outlook. I get no pop-ups. Macros don't work. I close Outlook. I open it again. I get no pop-ups. Macros work. Any experience with this? Enterprise Environment Windows 10 Outlook 2016

This is kind of related to my other post here. My To-Do list in the main Outlook window (not the To-Do bar) sometimes unexpectedly shows different views. Sometimes it shows a view that has the exact same conditional formatting and filtering as my To-Do bar. In that case, the view options...

I have applied filtering and conditional formatting in my To-Do Bar. When I view the To-Do List using the Tasks folder and choosing the To-Do List, it applies the same filtering and conditional formatting in my To-Do Bar. How can I use two different filters/formatting -- one for To-Do Bar and...

I'm using Outlook 2016. For the print templates that include a Task List (Daily, Tri-fold), when you change the "Appointments" font it doesn't actually change the font size of the Appointments. Instead, it changes the font size of the Task list, leaving the Appointment fonts the same size. You...

I have an Outlook 2016 task that recurs every week. At the beginning of the week, I open the task and in the body type in the date, and then add some notes. For the rest of the week, I periodically open it up and type more notes. At the end of the week, I hit "Complete" and Outlook generates a...

Hi Diane, So, I think what you are recommending is this: - Have a macro that sets a flag on every outgoing email; or maybe only set flags on emails that I expect a response to - Have a macro that watches my sentmail folder, and if a sent item with a flag gets a reply (i.e. an email with same...

I'm using Outlook 2016. I've tried to do this using a Search Folder. I've used "Tracking Status not equal to Replied" as the primary query item. This finds emails that I have not replied to, not emails I have sent that others have not replied to. Similarly, here is a VBA solution (How to...

When I change a flag to "This Week", it sets a due date of Friday and a start date of two days from today. So, if it is Monday, setting a task to "This Week" will set a start date of Wednesday. I'd rather "This Week" flag choose a start date of "Tomorrow." Is there any way to change this...

Hello Sentinels, Just getting around to trying this out. Did you possibly leave something out? I'm getting en error with that says "User-defined type not defined." The Visual Basic editors then pops up. "Private Sub Application_Reminder(ByVal objItem As Object)" is highlighted yellow, and...

Hi Diane. Yes, itemadd. While the message is opened, the macro adds a userproperty. Another script is looking for itemadd to the Sent Folder and when it sees an item added with that user property, it does some things. The way I see it, the visual indication would have to either act on the...

Greetings, I am using a script very similar to the one posted here (Outlook VBA for marking a new mail as a task before sending) which sets a customer UserProperty on an email being written. Also, concurrently, the SentItems folder is being monitored and when it sees email with that property...

For emails I have received, if any of the senders or recipients are in the global address book, Outlook displays the people in a friendly way. For example, if the email was sent by Bob M Smith and Bob M Smith is in the global, then instead of seeing "b.m.smith@work.com" I'll see "Smith Bob M...

Greetings, I arrange my To-Do tasklist by Start Date. It groups my tasks by Today, Tomorrow, This Week, and Next Week. If I do any additional kind of custom sorting, even if I use groupings, I lose those friendly terms and instead get dates. Any thoughts on how I can sort/arrange by Start...

Aha! Found another case where it doesn't work. If I open or select an email, and then click the meeting button to "Reply All with Meeting", the script doesn't get triggered. This script is already supposed to trigger on Explorer_SelectionChange; Inspectors_NewInspector; Appointment_Open...

Should have been more clear. It shows me how to work off of items I double-clicked to open and/or those selected in the main window. By integrating parts of below into what we've already created, everything seems to work fine (except trying to change multiple items in a row from the calendar...

Boy do I wish I had found this article earlier: https://www.datanumen.com/blogs/auto-show-private-appointments-free-outlook-calendar/ I think it'll basically solve everything.

Diane - this works on invitations I receive, but only if I double-click to open them first. In other words -- 1. Receive invitation 2. Click accept or tentative from preview pane 3. Meeting accepted, but no categorization 1. Receive invitation 2. Double-click invitation to open it 3. Click...

Good morning, When coworkers create Skype for Business meetings in Outlook, the invitation includes a Skype Meeting link. I'm assuming that the recipient's Outlook client reads this link and therefore enables a "Join Meeting" button in numerous places (the ribbon, when right-clicking the...
