Default Programming Hot Keys for Outlook 2003

Hello,

This is my first post to this newsgroup, and there is a chance that
this question may have already been answered sometime in the several
years that this group has probably been online. If so, I'd appreciate
it if someone can provide a pointer to the answer.

I'd like to program Hot Keys for Outlook 2003. For example, if
"ctrl-a" when input while a particular message is active, should sent
the message to an "Archive" folder. Things like that. I'm not a VBA
programmer, but don't mind quickly learning the APIs needed to do this,
if it is the case that a VBA macro will solve this problem.

It'd be great if someone can provide some advice on either existing
tools or macros that already do this, or pointers on how I can do this
myself.

Thanks.

LP

Default Programming Hot Keys for Outlook 2003

Outlook does not support hotkeys like that. The only keys you can assign are Alt+ accelerator keys for toolbar and menu commands, including macros you've added to the menu.
