Outlook 97 has VBA rather than VBScript, VBScript is the scripting language used in client-side web pages whereas VBA is pretty close to the main VB IDE but has greater integration to the application that hosts it. It also has some limitations in terms of the kinds of objects you can use and create. However you can use API calls in VBA so there is no reason why this will not work. In fact I have used this and similar code in outlook 2000 with no problems.

Will this work with Outlook 97 which only has VBScript? I'm only a novice but I thought I read somewhere you can't use API's with VBScript.
