You're talking about Task Request confirmations, correct? The options for
running a script with the Rules Wizard is limited to MailItem and
MeetingItem objects.

Your other option is to trap the Item_Add event for the Inbox. See:

How to create a custom rule in Outlook 2000 by using Visual Basic for
Applications:

Also, although task completed notifications are regular e-mails, Task Update
and Task Accepted messages are IPM.Task.Update and IPM.Task.Accepted class
types, so you'd need to use a TaskItem object to work with them.

(Outlook 2003)

Hi. I'm trying to filter incoming mails which are notifications only, and
are completed before I ever see them. I'd like to move them to a folder,
flag them, then have them marked completed, all without my having to see
it
happen.

I can do most of this using the Rules and Alerts. However, there is no
"Mark Completed" option. So I tried the "Run a Script" option.

Here's the "script" that I THOUGHT should work, but doesn't:
=======================================
Sub FlagComplete(Item As Outlook.MailItem)
Item.FlagStatus = olFlagComplete
Item.Save
End Sub
=======================================

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? I'm pretty new to VBA, but it seemed
pretty straightforward. The script DOES run, it just doesn't seem to do
what
I want it to. I've got it attached to the ThisOutlookSession object.

Thanks in advance!
