Can't seem to get this to work... or get my head round the methods/properties

to get it right...

I've tried using the Object Explorer and even installed OutlookSpy but being

a relative beginner with no formal training in Object Orientated Code I'm

just getting a headache !!

Can anyone help put me on the straight & narrow... it would be much

appreciated - thanks

Dim colRules As Outlook.Rules

Dim oRule As Outlook.Rule

Dim colRuleActions As Outlook.RuleActions

Dim oFromCondition As Outlook.ToOrFromRuleCondition

Dim oCategoryCondition As Outlook.CategoryRuleCondition

Dim oInbox As Outlook.Folder

Dim oMoveTarget As Outlook.Folder

Set oInbox = Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

Set oMoveTarget = oInbox.Folders(Foldername)

Set colRules = Application.Session.DefaultStore.GetRules()

Set oRule = colRules.Create(Rulename, olRuleReceive)

Set oCategoryCondition = oRule.Conditions.Category

With oCategoryCondition.Categories

> Categories.Add (CategoryName)

End With

oRule.Enabled = False

colRules.Save

All works fine if I comment out the category condition code - rule gets

setup but as soon as I throw the category condition in ie.

Set oCategoryCondition = oRule.Conditions.Category

With oCategoryCondition.Categories

> Categories.Add (CategoryName)

End With

it fails...

Any help appreciated - thx
 
oCategoryCondition.Categories takes/returns a string array, it's not a

collection.
