Automatically forward message
Hi, folks!
I (on the east coast) and another person (on the west cost) provide tech support for a small company. We have a "support" email account set up on a "freebie" (TMSoft) email server. I have my Outlook 2002 set up to pick up those emails. What I want to do is, during specified hours each day, have those emails automatically forwarded to the west coast person. I looked in the inbox rules and did not see anything that would even forward, much less forward during only certain times. I'm pretty good with VBA in Access but have never really done any customization for Outlook. Before diving into more programming, I wanted to see if there was anything already out there that would solve my problem. Can anyone help? Thanks, Bruce |

Bruce, that´s quite simple: You can use the ItemAdd event of the Inbox (see VBA help for an example). In that check the time and call the item´s Forward method, which returns a new MailItem object. Add the address to it and call that item´s Send method. In OL XP you´d get a security prompt at the latest by calling the Send method. You could display the message instead and press the Send button manually, or use the Redemption (www.dimastr.com) to avoid that. -- Viele Gruesse / Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook -- www.VBOffice.net -- Hi, folks!

There are two ways you can to do that:
1. Using a MS Outlook add-in (an example would be Auto Reply Manager for Outlook; you can find it he http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/o...uto-reply.html) 2. Using a MS Outlook VBA script (which you can do it yourself or you can find it on the internet) "BruceS" wrote in message ... Hi, folks!

I had the same problem with rules wizard, in new rules set up, you need
to say select check messages when they arrive, set the condition (doubt if you can set a time interval) then in the following screens you get the option of what to do with the message(s) [you have to scroll down the list of actions to see forward].

Michael,
Thanks for responding. I've run into the SendTo required prompt (What a pain!) doing Access apps. Can't use that because it requires a response for each message and I'll hopefully be doing something more fun than working when it pops up. Unless someone knows a way around the prompt, that would be a deal breaker.

Dan,
Thanks for repsonding! I've checked out the link. Looks like that may work. The other approach won't because of the "security" in SendTo.

What we ended up doing:
TMSoft allowed us to forward all "support" emails to both techs. (It would not allow doing so only at certain hours.) Each tech set up a special folder in their inbox to receive them. We just delete/ignore any that arrive when we are not on duty. Bruce "BruceS" wrote: Hi, folks! I (on the east coast) and another person (on the west cost) provide tech support for a small company.

Harold,
Thanks for replying. You're right, I didn't see Forward, and it won't allow setting a time interval, only days. Will keep looking.
