Saving Sent Emails in Outlook 2000

[John]

I used to use Lotus Notes and had the automatic save
feature turned off. When I sent an email, it would then
request whether or not I wanted to save it to my Sent
folder.

(How) can I do this in Outlook 2000?

No such feature is built into Outlook, but you can add it with VBA code. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/setsavefolder.htm

I thought that looked usefull, rather than simply saving all in sent folder,
for later moving.
I tried it, inc.the dig.sig bit for the macro but it seemed to have no
effect, other than flashing up a window momentarily that went to quickly to
read, Am I missing something?
Yes I was using the default pst

 

[DL]

Sorry, signed Macro with a Digital signiture, As in 'How to prevent the VBA
security Warning' shown under the last line of code in
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/setsavefolder.htm

I have no idea what you mean by "dig.sig bit."

Does any VBA code run at all? Make a little Hello World program to test:

Sub HelloWorld()
MsgBox "Hello world"
End Sub

You can also put a breakpoint in the Application_ItemSend event handler to
try stepping through the code.

In OL, the hello world runs fine

I realise I'm making a fundamental error, not exactly sure what
In OL2K used alt+F11 pasted code into Module1 saved and ran.
Next in OL created new Macro, pasted code saved and ran
all with no result.
I realise I'm getting this all wrong with OL and vba implementation, though
dare I confess used vba extensively in Access without a problem

The code at the page cited earlier must be placed in the built-in
ThisOutlookSession module, not in a new module. That's where the Application
event handlers fire.

Thanks, will have to look further into OL + VBA

I meant to say whilst I follow the code, The implimentation/integration in
OL seems v.different to Access

Yes, for starters Outlook is not a relational database and has its own
objects, methods, events, and properties.
