Can you guys tell me how to implement this?

I have several categories and would like emails that are sent regarding
specific events:

Such as an email sent with the word "Netapp" to automatically be assinged
netapp upgrade category.

How can a programatically setup categories in this manner?

Please include step by step instructions as I am new to outlook programming
and don't know exactly how to edit the code but, have done similar things in
thep ast with previous verisons of outlook.

I appreciate the help.

Yes. Unless you save the item, the changes are not permanent.

Hi Sue,

I'm not doing a .Save anywhere in my code. Do you think that including one
after my category assignment would encourage the explorer to re-group by
category?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Maybe a dumb question, but are you also including an objMail.Save statement?

Hello again,

a small update to my problem:

When I assign a Category programmatically (through objMail.Categories =
"MyCategory" as before), the explorer doesn't catch on to the fact that the
category has changed until I right-click and do Categories...

The category I assigned programmatically is there in the list and is ticked,
and it's only when I ok this dialog that the explorer finally re-organises
itself and the email is grouped by the correct category.

Is there a way to programmatically force this to happen?

Hi Guys,

Outlook 2003, VBA Code:
I'm programmatically assigning categories to email messages (e.g.
objMail.Categories = "My Category"). All very well, but when I have my
emails arranged by Category, the location of the email in the Explorer does
not always match up its Category. Is there a way to refresh the sort when a
category changes. This area of functionality seems a little "flakey".

Your help is greatly appreciated.
