The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Using Outlook and VBA to automate an email application, having trouble cycling through Inbox...

Asked by ajet7 in Outlook Groupware Software

Tags: , , ,

Hello,
I have written some VBA that is triggered when an email comes into the Inbox (outlook 2000).  The VBA connects to a DB, finds some information, then responds to the email with that information.  That email is then moved to a different folder in Outlook. Then, I have query that checks the Inbox to see if there are more emails.  if there is one, a variable grabs the top record (the first email in the Inbox), and assigns it to an Object variable.  

The problem:

olInboxItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)

seems to not want to let me call it again and pass the next email to it.  I am trying to figure out how to get the VBA to cycle through the emails of there are more in the inbox.  

This is where I query the inbox, assign the next email to the variable, and pass it through... all i keep getting is "Object required" Error no matter what i try:
(Dims)
objNS2 is a Namespace
myFolder is a MAPIFolder
tempItem is an Object

----****other code****----
Set objNS2 = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = objNS2.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

'assign the next email to tempItem
Set tempItem = myFolder.Items(1)

'pass tempItem to the original function to start the process again with a new email
olInboxItems_ItemAdd (tempItem)
----****other code****----

I AM DESPERATE!!!!!!  Can you help?

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOO much for your help!

Eric
