Hi all,

Although I have used VBA in Excel, I have never used it in Outlook. Using

Outlook 2007, What I would like to do seems simple enough but I have no clue

how to do it. All I want to do is add text to the body of a message. I

thought something like this would work but I get the error message "Sub of

Function not defined". I know I'm missing an event or something but I'm not

sure. Can someone please help?

Sub APPRVL_REQ_TEXT()

Dim Aprvl_Text As String

Aprvl_Text = "Your approval is requested for the following contract

renewals. Please also see sales data below:"

End Sub

Ok. I've gotten this far but this code opens a new message. I want to

insert text into an existing open message and I am still getting the "sub or

function not defined error" when I try to run the macro. But I don't get it

when I "step into" the macro.

Sub APPRVL_REQ_TEXT()

Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem

Dim ApprovalText As String

ApprovalText = "Your approval is requested for the following contract

renewals. Please also see sales data below:"

Set msg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)

msg.Body = ApprovalText

msg.Display

Set msg = Nothing

End Sub

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How are you trying to run the macro when you get the error?

To return the currently open item in Outlook VBA, use

Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.

Just from the macros icon in the developer menu.

Also, I tried to get into the macro today and now I get an error message

that says "The macros in this project are disabled. Please refer to the

onlin ehelp or documentation of the host application to determine how to

enable macros." So I looked online and the help says to open the document

with Enable Macros but NOWHERE do I see how to enable macros in a project.
