I really want to record a macro that does the following when I send/receive:

open rules/alerts
run rules now
select all rules
run them

This deletes all the junk and moves certain emails into certain folders. I
am sick of running these every time.

Please help as I am no techie.

Also why does Outlook not record macros?

Thanks

I'm not aware of any canned software that does exactly what you want, as far
as I know that's a task for custom code. There are code samples at
outlookcode.com that cover putting things into Word, I also have a sample
for that at my code samples page at www.slovaktech.com but nothing that
matches exactly what you want. It's something that would have to be pieced
together from existing samples.

Hi again, Sue!

I am a non-programmer. I need to perform this about three hundred times,
so
am hoping that there is a packaged bit of code somewhere that will do at
least part of it.

open an e-mail
open a link in the e-mail
select all
copy
paste into Notepad or Word
save as

Do you have any resources or ideas?

Many thanks for all your help over the months!

Most Office programs have no macro recorder. Word and Excel are two of the few that do.

Outlook 2007 is the first version to allow you to run rules programmatically. If you upgrade at some point in the future, you can take a look at the code sample at http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1266.
