Programmatically Selecting Multiple Items

N

Norm

I want to programmatically select all of the items in a mail folder. Can this be done?
In particular, I want to automate the process I now do manually wherein I select all of
the mail items in a folder and save them to one, big, text file.

Hi,

do you mean highlighting the items? That can´t be done programmatically.

If you want to process all the items in the folder, why do you need to
select them all? Just iterate the folder's Items collection.

When I do this mannually, all the messages get saved to one text file with the From, To,
Date, Subject, and body data nicely organized in one giant text file. I've included a
sample below. If I perform an itteration, I'd have to save each to a temp text file and
the programatically add the contents of the temp file to the object text file. This seems
very inelegant.

Thanks Mike, but it is unlikely that I will be making it since I
committed to some volunteer activities this weekend and have to go to
NH.

By the way, the only way I would feel out of place is if there was no
beer!

Have fun!

Inelegant it may be, but that's the correct technique.

Thanks for you help. When I attempt to save each MailItem, a dialog box appears asking me
if I want to allow access to the item. How do I disable this from happening?

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm for your options with regard to the
"object model guard" security in Outlook 2000 SP2 and later versions.
