Prompt for email account

I have three email accounts in Outlook 2007: an Excchange (ost) and 2

personal (pst.)

When I create a new mail message, I'd like to click on a button that then

prompts me for the account, and then creates a blank message (from the

selected account) for me to fill in.

I've done a fair amount of VBA Excel programming, but none in Outlook.

But I don't have the time to learn the Outlook object model for this

personal project.

Could someone provide me with the handful of lines necessary to accomplish

this?

Thanks!!

Tom
 
You don't want to get prompted automatically when creating a new message,

right? Why don't you then just hit the dropdown button for selecting an

account? That would be one click less.

if you want to code it yourself anyway, see the Accounts collection of the

Application.Session object. Display all the accounts in an appropriate

control on an MSForm, and write the selection into the

MailItem.SendUsingAccount property.

If you're looking for a ready-to-use solution, see the link in my signature

please. The SAM Add-in for Outlook can ask you for the sending account to

use.

Best regards

Michael Bauer
