Where to start???

[Joe]

I want to write a fairly simple macro for outlook. In word/excel I can
record the macros then if I need to I can go into the editor and have enough
of a clue to change it based on the existing code and the help - but outlook
justs starts of with a blank canvas...

I'll probably never need to do anything like this again, so I don't really
want to spend ages learning VBA just to write this one macro. Can someone
give me a pointer on how to get started?

All the macro has to do is 'reply' to the currently selected e-mail, replace
the 'to:' name with an e-mail address from within the text of the e-mail (it
will always be in the same place), copy a bit of the existing text to the
top, delete the rest of the text, and paste a bunch of standard text in.

I'm sure I can work all the details out, but what would a skeleton macro
look like? (can someone just post a bit of code that would reply to the
e-mail - that should be enough to get me started)

Thanks,

Joe.

In the length of time it would take you to do this with the latest security "enhancements" from Microsoft you could do it just as quick manually.

All this applies to Outlook 2002 and to what you want to do.
