I am just starting to experiment with Outlook VBA.

I am looking for a simple example of how to capture the content of an

inbound e-mail's subject so that I can see it in VBA code.

For my first step, I would simply like to be able to do a MSGBOX to display

the captured Subject.

Thanks for your help,

Brad

What is an 'inbound e-mail's subject'?

This prompts the subject of the first selected item in the current folder:

Dim Sel as Outlook.Selection

Set Sel=Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection

If Sel.Count>0 Then Msgbox Sel(1).Subject

Best regards

Michael,

Sorry, I didn't explain very clearly what I am trying to do.

I have set up a little VBA module that is initiated by Outlook each time a

new e-mail arrives. It simply displays a message that control was passed to

it. This works nicely

I am now trying to capture the subject line of each e-mail and do something

with it in the VBA code.

Being new to Outlook VBA, I would like to see an example of how to get at

the subject line of each e-mail in VBA as they arrive.

Thanks for your help.

For instance, see the ItemAdd event of the Inbox folder. There's an example

in the VBA help file.

Try this:

Sub IncomingMailHandler(ThisMail as MailItem)

MsgBox ThisMail.Subject

End Sub

To "install" the script, create a new "run script" rule for incoming

messages in Tools / Rules and Alerts (if that isn't how you already did

it).
