I've read the help on reply event , but can't get it to work
I've tried placing this everywhere but I can't get it to run when the
user sends a reply.

I'm trying to find the right place to set the code so that only runs
when the user sends a reply

PLEASE can anyone help



Public WithEvents myItem As MailItem

Sub Initialize_Handler()
Set myItem = Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
End Sub

Private Sub myItem_Reply(ByVal Response As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
MsgBox "Reply"
End Sub

We're confused, too. You've posted in a forum about Outlook custom forms, which use VBScript as their code language, but the topic of your post seems to deal with VBA/VB code. Please give us the "big picture" so we can understand what you're trying to do.

I have users that get faxes as email attachments.
Sometimes as many as 6 or 7 per email, as GIF attachments.

Outlook 2003 doesn't allow you to open multiple attachments at 1 time.

I'm trying to write a VBA macro that opens all the attachments when
the user opens the email.

I don't want to open the attachments when the user uses Reply, Reply
All, or Forward. So I need to test for these and block those events

I only want to open the attachments when the user opens the eamil to
read.

All the code I've seen on the interent either opens attachments on new
mails as they come in or search the inbox for attachments and opens
them all

Maybe you have a simple solution to this seemingly easy task

Take a look at http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1140. Check the message's Sent property equals False, then you know you have a reply, forward, or new message.

Note that this has nothing to do with custom forms.

The code that you suggested, when does it run ....
I mean does the user have to do something or does this code run when a
new mail comes in.

The users here don't want the attachments for every mail to open. only
when the user opens it to read.

Quite often we get unwanted or duplicate mails with attachements ...
the user just wants to delete these without the attachments opening

Thanks for you continued help
I've included my code for your information



This is the code so far

Code in "ThisOutlookSession"


Dim WithEvents colInsp As Outlook.Inspectors
Public WithEvents myItem As Outlook.MailItem

Private Sub colInsp_NewInspector(ByVal Inspector As Inspector)

Call Att_Open
End Sub


Code in Module ....
It runs fine when an email is opened to read, but also runs when the
user selects Reply. ReplyAll forward or New .... which i need to stop

Sub Att_Open()

Dim myolApp As Outlook.Application
Dim myinspector As Outlook.Inspector
Set myolApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myinspector = myolApp.ActiveInspector
Dim I As Integer


If TypeName(myinspector) = "Nothing" Then
Exit Sub

ElseIf Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.Attachment s.Count =
0 Then
MsgBox "No Attachments"

ElseIf Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.Attachment s.Count
0 Then
I = Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.Attachment s.Count
MsgBox I

End If


End Sub

I don't see any code yet to instantiate colInsp. If you want the whole routine to run automatically, you need code in the Application_Startup event handler in ThisOutlookSession to handle that.

As I said in my earlier post, if you check the value of the message's Sent property and it equals False, then you know you have a reply, forward, or new message, one that you don't want to process.

Other issues:

Outlook VBA includes an intrinsic Application object, so you don't need to use CreateObject to create another one.

Also, you said "users." Outlook VBA code is not meant to be redistributed. Ultimately, you should be thinking about building this functionality into an OUtlook COM add-in. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/comaddins.htm
