no, there are no such tools to do what you want. I don't know if inbox rules

Diane,

Thanks. I already checked. None of their tools help manage the rules
list. They do have some nice tools that I would purchase if I needed
them.


To learn more about outlook programming, spend some time at outlookcode.com.
While you can do some stuff in rules with VBA, you really need to work with
VB, C#, C++ or Delphi to do deep programming in Outlook.

Ouch! Is this true of Access and other Office apps?

If all I need to do is list out all the rules, can I do that in VBA?
What is it about VBA that is limiting compared to VB or C++/C#? Is
straight C, which would be easier to learn than C++ or C#, sufficient
do do things with rules that can't be done with VBA?

Any books to help get me started with Outlook programming?

Thanks.
