See MSDN and Outlook VBA help file. http://www.outlookcode.com is good place
to start.
The code should be

Set objSender = Item.SenderName

Is there a good reference for this type of info?

Pardon my ignorance but would this work to retrieve the sender?

Set objFormTab = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("Message")
Set objSender = objFormTab.MailItem("SenderName")

Thanks,
Gil
