Automating Exporting to pst file

Trouble

I have done a lot of VB6 programming and integrated Excel and Access into my

apps but have not done so with Outlook. I am using Outlook 2000.

Is there a way to use the Export to a file by accessing the export routine

in Outlook and using VBA to select the options such as pst file, inbox, do

not replace duplicates, file name, etc.?

Specifically, where do I find the names of the controls in the Export

function to call?

My daughter gets confused trying to backup and I would like to simplify it

by calling a macro to do it in one step.

Thanks for the help.
 
No, that dialog cannot be automated unless maybe with a SendKeys kludge.

Furthermore, export to a new .pst file is not the same as backup and is

always a last resort, not a standard procedure. Check

http://www.slipstick.com for the existing backup utilities available,

including a free one from Microsoft.

May I suggest also checking some excellent and relatively inexpensive

($50) backup/restore products that would be useful not just for backing

up Outlook but also for your system (or any part of it) and it can all be

automated.

numerous occasions and be operational again very, very quickly.

Thanks to both of you for the replies. I have had my Outlook pst file become

corrupted a number of times and the repair routine not be able to repair it

but I have recovered the inbox and sent items by religiously exporting inbox

to a file named inbox.pst and sent items to a file named sent items.pst on

another computer on my LAN.

I'll look into the software you recommended. Thanks again.
