Create/Apply auto formatting rules by VB?

[Heinz-Josef Bomanns]

Hi,

with auto formatting i can tell Outlook to show entries in explorer
tables in for eg. bold, colorized, underlined etc. based on some
criterias. Just wondering if it's possible to create/apply auto
formatting rules by VB? I had a look at the View.XML property, but
auto formatting rules seems to be stored elsewhere. Anybody knows
where auto formatting rules are stored or can be created/applied by
code? Thanks for any hints...

Autoformatting rules are not exposed by View.XML. You can access them only in
Outlook 2007, through the AutoFormatRules collection for the TableView and
other view objects. Changes made to AutoFormatRules do not persist between
Outlook sessions.

Hallo Sue,

Thanks, will give it a try in 2007...
