I have a macro that synchronizes my Outlook sent items with my MSN account
sent items (for when I send mail via the website or another computer). The
macro seems to work fine as long as the connection remains. However, if the
connection is lost and it shifts to offline mode, the prgoram crashes.

Is there a way for VB to check if the target folder is "online"? I think
that if I run that check before trying to access the folder, it will work.

Thanks

Do you use an error handler? A simply On Errot Goto should prevent your code
from "crashing".

Thanks.

I thought about that and it could probably work. The problem is that the
error only occurs when I use the item.copy.move method. The result is that
the code terminates with a copy already made (I don't understand why it can
copy an email into the folder but not move it).

So I need to 'trigger' a potential error event before that code executes,
without actually changing anything if the error occurs. So I don't know how
to apply an error handler to this situation. Any ideas?

For instance:

On Error REsume Next
Dim Copy as MailItem

Set Copy=Item.Copy
If Err.Number Then
Copy.Delete
Set Copy=Nothing
Else
Copy.Move ...
Endif

Thanks. That works, but now i would like to terminate the program as soon as
it finds it is offline. I think it should look something like this:

If FCopy Then
'If the server is not connected, it will not copy the email
*** On Error Goto [?] **************
Set itemCopy = item1.Copy
If Err.Number Then
itemCopy.Delete
Set itemCopy = Nothing
Else
itemCopy.Move folder2
totalCopied = totalCopied + 1

End If

'item1.Copy.Move folder2
'totalCopied = totalCopied + 1
End If

I'm not familiar with the Goto clause. What do I need to put after goto (I
want to stop the program and create a message box stating the folder is
offline)

There're two possibilities:

'On Error Resume Next' ignores the error and you can check in the next line
of code if an error occured. See my first sample.

'On Error Goto AnyName' jumps to a xxx (I don't know how to translate that).
That would look like this:

On Error Goto AnyName

' code here that raises an error
' more code here but these line won't be executed

AnyName: ' this is the xxx. Note that it ends with a double point!
' here the execution goes on

Both methods are possible if you want to leave the procedure. In my first
sample you could add a line like this:

If Err.Number Then
itemCopy.Delete
Set itemCopy = Nothing
Exit Sub
Endif
