This code adds a category name to an outgoing mail message in outlook.

However when using it - the subject disappears. Do you happen to know

why and how to fix it ?

Public Sub TagMessage()

Set objOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

If Not objOL.ActiveInspector Is Nothing Then

Set objItem = objOL.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem

objItem.Categories = "my category"

End If

End Sub

Thanks for your help

There's no reason I can see for subject to become blank.

If this is running in the Outlook VBA project use Application and don't ever

use CreateObject or New:

If Not Application.ActiveInspector Is Nothing Then

etc.
 
thank Ken,

unfortunately, it does get blank everytime I use this code.

Btw, I tried your offered suggestion. However I'm not quite sure I

understood it, because now I get a compile error:

" Method or data not found" - with the new code line highlighted

should I make anymore changes in the code so that your offered change

would work?

Thanks
 
The suggestion I made was only if the code is running in the Outlook VBA

project, not in Excel or some other application. Is the code running in

Outlook? If not then go back to using CreateObject().

Unless there's additional code you haven't shown, the code you did show does

nothing to touch Subject so I can't see how the subject would be blanked.

 
I found a different way to overcome this problem, withoutthe creating a

new object.

Anyway, it sloved my problem.

Thanks
 
off-course.

I used this simple code insteadץ

Apparently, it does the same thing in a much simpler way

Public Sub TagMessage()

ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.Categories = "ZZZ"

End Sub
