Hi,
I have a custom form assigned to my contacts in a custom Folder.
Now we send serial mails to selected contacts.

How to put a line:
DATE: letter 1 sent
at the end of the body (Note field) in each selected contact?

Pls help with a macro
many THX
 
I have a code sample to work with selected items at
www.slipstick.com

Working with All Items in a Folder or Selected Items

These samples contains the basic code for working with all items in a selected folder or selected items in a folder.

Adding the information is fairly easy - you'd use something like this snippet. This adds the date to the body - at the top. Switch it to .Body & vbCrLf & Date & " 1 letter sent " to put it at the end,


Code: 
With obj
 
    ' do whatever
    .Body = Date &  " 1 letter sent "  _
         vbCrLf & "------------------------------------------------" & vbCrLf & .Body
         .Save
         .Display
     
     End With
 
Many THX But I cannot figure out HowTo

Code: 
Public Sub DoSomethingSelection()
    Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
    Dim currentExplorer As Explorer
    Dim Selection As Selection
   
    Dim obj As Object
    Set objOL = Outlook.Application
    Set currentExplorer = objOL.ActiveExplorer
    Set Selection = currentExplorer.Selection

    For Each obj In Selection
 
    With obj
 
    ' do whatever
    .Body = Date &  " 1 letter sent " _
         vbCrLf & "------------------------------------------------" & vbCrLf & .Body
         .Save
         .Display
   
     End With
   
    Next

    Set Session = Nothing
    Set currentExplorer = Nothing
    Set obj = Nothing
    Set Selection = Nothing

End Sub
 
oops, sorry - missing a & sign.

.Body = Date & " 1 letter sent " _
& vbCrLf & "------------------------------------------------" & vbCrLf & .Body
.Save
.Display

or put it on one line. The reason for splitting to two lines is to make it easier to read / view in the VBA editor without scrolling.

.Body = Date & " 1 letter sent " & vbCrLf & "------------------------------------------------" & vbCrLf & .Body
.Save
.Display

Option Explicit

Public Sub DoSomethingSelection()
    Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
    Dim currentExplorer As Explorer
    Dim Selection As Selection
    
    Dim obj As Object
    Set objOL = Outlook.Application
    Set currentExplorer = objOL.ActiveExplorer
    Set Selection = currentExplorer.Selection

    For Each obj In Selection
 
    With obj
 
    ' do whatever
    .Body = Date & " 1 letter sent " _
    & vbCrLf & "------------------------------------------------" & vbCrLf & .Body
    .Save
    '.Display
    
     End With
    
    Next

    Set Session = Nothing
    Set currentExplorer = Nothing
    Set obj = Nothing
    Set Selection = Nothing

End Sub

But It puts the text at the beginning!?
I do not understand what to do to get the text at the bottom of the Body.

Pls help to achieve this

Delete the line or change session to selection.
