VB Program to automate an Outlook Rule (custom action)

imported_Jack · 05-30-2003, 09:40 AM

The attached VB6 Project will build an applicaiton that can be used as a custom action under Outlook Rules. You need to register launcher.dll as described in the readme.

In the custom rule definition you reference the launcher.dll and it brings up a dialog box where you can point to the exe (the vb program attached, after building the project and inserting your conditions).

You will also need the redemption.dll (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/). The Redemption dll eliminates the outlook security prompts when accessing the address book and sending email.

A very cool program, give it a try.

Enjoy,

Jack

A project already set up would be a great help. However I cannot find the attachment you mention. Can you re-post or suggest a good download URL for it?

With many thanks!

This tool provides a connection to an external program via a triggered event in Outlook.
