Need a way to Auto Accept Messages from a particular person with a specfic subject
I was wondering if there is a way to Auto Accept Messages From a particular user with a specfic subject. I have created a public folder Calendar for our IT Dept. As our organization grows we need a better way of keep track of New Hires and those have been let go. I created the folder as a way to keep track of these updates. The Director will create an apointment in the calendar and then send the requests to myself (sysadmin) and to the Help Desk/Desktop support folks. As long as all parties accept the messages the events will be entered into their calendars. I am concerned that this won't always happen. Therefore, I would like a way for this to be autmated so these messages are always accepted. I don't see anything built into Outlook. I assume this will require a macro of some kind. I am not a VB developer. Any thoughts?

My fault. Replace line 13 with this
Set olkFolder = Session.GetDefaultFolder(o
Set olkFolder = Session.GetDefaultFolder(o

Okay, the error went away. Using my Outlook profile I edited the 2 fields you specified. For the the sender I used a test account and for the subject I used New Hire. I ran a few tests, but it is not Autmatically Accepting meetings. I am also not seeing any Outlook Security messages.
When you launched Outlook were you prompted to enable macros?

Well, it's almost exactly the same code I posted with the exception that it doesn't appear to test for the sender, meaning it'll accept appointments from anyone that sends a message with the correct subject. You'd said you only want them from one user. Since testing for the sender is the only significant difference I can see, I can only assume that my code wasn't working because the sender name didn't match.

Yes, that was the orginal idea. It was going to come from 1/maybe 2 senders. However, since the subject is so specific I realized it didn't make sense for me to have that included. I am not sure why the orginal code you sent didn't work. I tested it with a using a few clients, but I could have made some other error along the way. Either way your input and code was essential. Thank you for your help.

However, when restart Oulook and enable the Macro I get a runtime error 13 on the following line:
Set olkFolder = Session.GetDefaultFolder(o
Any thoughts?
