Sue Mosher's book, Microsoft Outlook Programming, has precisely this
solution and specifically mentions the Notes functionality. Been
reading the book over the past few days - very impressive. I doubt it
would be appropriate for me to post that code here, but I can refer
you to it as Listing 11.3 on page 198 of the book. You may be able to
find the code on her site, www.outlookcode.com.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, kc, the code is definitely at that site. ALso the sample at http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1173 would apply if dacrow always wants to save the item in a folder in the default store (Exchange mailbox or Personal Folders .pst file).

For VBA basics, see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/vbabasics.htm
