Runtime error 424

[Graham]

Hi

I have a macro in word which changes the default path for the save as
dialogue box.

In word it word it works fine but I copied the code into Outlook an I get
the following message

Runtime Error 424
Object required

and the following line is highlighted in yellow when I click debug.

Rem ** This sets the default directory for this word session to the folder
variable **
Options.DefaultFilePath(wdDocumentsPath) = Folder$

Taking the cursor over the Folder$ display the correct path so the code
before seems to be okay

What do I need to do to sort

Thanks for any help
Graham

You can't just copy Word code into Outlook and expect it to work. You must instantiate a Word.Application object with CreateObject() and then derive all the Word objects from that object.

Outlook doesn´t know neither the Options object nor a DefaultFilePath
method.

Hi

Unfortunately I do not know much about Outlook VBA all I normally do is
create Macros in word the amend some of the code to do what I need.

What is the similar command in Outlook that will allow me to change the
default files path to the one held in the variable Folder$

Regards
Graham

There´s nothing similar in Outlook.

For attachments you can edit the Registry
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/252732/en-us). But that takes affect not
before the next start of Outlook.
