Problem running script in MS Office 2007
Hello EE,
I am unable to get Office to run my script properly. I'm very new to this, so perhaps it is an easy solution.
I want Outlook to send an incoming email's subject line, from, and timestamp to my phone. I don't have a smartphone but would like to receive new message alerts via text.
I did some browsing on EE and came across code written by: TheGorby
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/26704826/Rule-to-send-subject-line-as-text-message-to-phone.html
I paste it into VB (Alt+F11) directly in "ThisOutlookSession". I save it, close Outlook then I create a rule. The rule has "no conditions" and an action "run a script".
It says: "run Project1.ThisOutlookSessio n.NewSMS"
I'm not recieving a text. What am I doing wrong/missing? Thank you.

Sub NewSMS(Msg As MailItem)
Dim strID As String
Dim strSubj As String
Dim objMsg As Outlook.MailItem
If Weekday(Date) = vbTuesday Then
strID = Msg.EntryID
Set olkMsg = Application.Session.GetItemFromID(strID)
strSubj = olkMsg.Subject
Set olkMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With olkMsg
.To = "5555551212@txt.att.net"
.Body = strSubj
.Subject = ""
.Send
End With
End If
Set olkMsg = Nothing
End Sub

In the VB editor of outlook insert | MOdule
Now move your sub to this module and check the rule is updated ... then retry.
