I am trying to get all the recipients "list of people in TO: .. section" of an outlook appointment that I select.
I need the subject and and the recipients of all the selected appointments, I could get the subject but am not able to get the recipients. Below is the code I tried..
Sub testCode()
Dim objItem As Object
Dim objApp As Outlook.Application
Set objApp = Application
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Application.Visible = True
xlApp.workbooks.Open "C:\data.xlsm"
For i = 1 To 49
Set objItem = objApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(i)
xlApp.Range("A" & i & "").Value = objItem.Subject
xlApp.Range("B" & i & "").Value = objItem.To // not working
Next i
End Sub
There is no To field in an appointment. There are required attendees and optional attendees.
Use these properties:
objItem.OptionalAttendees
and
objItem.RequiredAttendees
As a sidenote, the easiest way to figure out things like this is to examine the object in the locals window of the code window while stepping through the code. This way you can see all of the properties that the object has and figure out what to use.
Use the AppointmentItem.Recipients collection and loop through all recipients. Recipient.Type = olTo are required, olCC - optional, olBCC - resources.

I want to send the body of a Word document as an email from MS Word 2016.
I want the user to select recipients from the address book. I want them to only be put in the BCC field.
How do I monitor the to/from/CC/BCC fields for changes, and then move those changes to BCC?
The documentation indicates the use of Inspectors, but nothing specific about accessing the contents of these fields.
I have two approaches:
open a new Outlook mail item, load the contents of the Word file to it, and then try to monitor the fields that way.
send directly from Word using the Quick Access Toolbar option "Send to Mail Recipient".
I don't know if that is an option based on what I was reading and if those fields are accessible via VBA.
Code example of what I have so far:
Sub SendDocumentInMail()
Dim bStarted As Boolean
Dim oOutlookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oItem As Outlook.MailItem
On Error Resume Next
'Get Outlook if it's running
Set oOutlookApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err <> 0 Then
'Outlook wasn't running, start it from code
Set oOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
bStarted = True
End If
'Create a new mailitem
Set oItem = oOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With oItem
'Set the recipient for the new email
.To = "recipient#mail.com"
'Set the recipient for a copy
.CC = "recipient2#mail.com"
'Set the subject
.Subject = "New subject"
'The content of the document is used as the body for the email
.Body = ActiveDocument.Content
.Send
End With
If bStarted Then
'If we started Outlook from code, then close it
oOutlookApp.Quit
End If
'Clean up
Set oItem = Nothing
Set oOutlookApp = Nothing
End Sub
It seems you are interested in the SelectNamesDialog object which displays the Select Names dialog box for the user to select entries from one or more address lists, and returns the selected entries in the collection object specified by the property SelectNamesDialog.Recipients.
The dialog box displayed by SelectNamesDialog.Display is similar to the Select Names dialog box in the Outlook user interface. It observes the size and position settings of the built-in Select Names dialog box. However, its default state does not show Message Recipients above the To, Cc, and Bcc edit boxes.
The following code sample shows how to create a mail item, allow the user to select recipients from the Exchange Global Address List in the Select Names dialog box, and if the user has selected recipients that can be completely resolved, then send the mail item.
Sub SelectRecipients()
Dim oMsg As MailItem
Set oMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Dim oDialog As SelectNamesDialog
Set oDialog = Application.Session.GetSelectNamesDialog
With oDialog
.InitialAddressList = _
Application.Session.GetGlobalAddressList
.Recipients = oMsg.Recipients
If .Display Then
'Recipients Resolved
oMsg.Subject = "Hello"
oMsg.Send
End If
End With
End Sub
I am creating a VBA Macro in Outlook that will copy an existing meeting invite and create a follow up meeting invite. It should be fairly easy since I have all the parts to this puzzle.
My problem is with the body of the invite; all formatting and pictures are lost. For this reason, I need to use the Word Inspector object to preserve any special formatting and images. I figured out the code using Word and recording a macro.
So I have figured out the code for copying text using the Word Inspector, but I am not sure on how to paste it in another invite.
Sub copyPaste()
Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
On Error Resume Next
Set objOL = Application
If objOL.ActiveInspector.EditorType = olEditorWord Then
Set objDoc = objOL.ActiveInspector.WordEditor
Set objNS = objOL.Session
Set objSel = objDoc.Windows(1).Selection
objSel.WholeStory
objSel.Copy
objSel.PasteAndFormat (wdFormatOriginalFormatting)
End If
Set objOL = Nothing
Set objNS = Nothing
End Sub
Please see my current Outlook code:
Sub scheduleFollowUpMeeting()
'Declarations
Dim obj As Object
Dim Sel As Outlook.Selection
'Selecting the Email
If TypeOf Application.ActiveWindow Is Outlook.Inspector Then
Set obj = Application.ActiveInspector.currentItem
Else
Set Sel = Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection
If Sel.Count Then
Set obj = Sel(1)
End If
End If
If Not obj Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "The original meeting has been copied." & vbCrLf & "Please kindly update any new details like date/time.", , "Follow Up Meeting - Amit P Shah"
Dim objFollowUp As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Set objFollowUp = Application.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
'Copies existing details from original Invite
With objFollowUp
.MeetingStatus = olMeeting
.Subject = "Follow Up: " & obj.Subject
.Body = obj.Body
.Start = Now + 1 'Takes today's date and adds 1 day
.End = DateAdd("n", obj.Duration, .Start)
'Other
.AllDayEvent = obj.AllDayEvent
.BusyStatus = obj.BusyStatus
.Categories = obj.Categories
.Companies = obj.Companies
.ForceUpdateToAllAttendees = obj.ForceUpdateToAllAttendees
.Importance = obj.Importance
.Location = obj.Location
.OptionalAttendees = obj.OptionalAttendees
.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = obj.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart
.ReminderOverrideDefault = obj.ReminderOverrideDefault
.ReminderPlaySound = obj.ReminderPlaySound
.ReminderSet = obj.ReminderSet
.ReminderSoundFile = obj.ReminderSoundFile
.ReplyTime = obj.ReplyTime
.RequiredAttendees = obj.RequiredAttendees
.Resources = obj.Resources
.ResponseRequested = obj.ResponseRequested
.Sensitivity = obj.Sensitivity
.UnRead = obj.UnRead
.Display
End With
End If
End Sub
Any help would greatly be appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
I'm not a specialist on this subject but i used to work and manipulate Outlook's AppointmentItem in C# and that's how i see the thing.
Actually, if you try to copy the body of a meeting on another meeting, like you said, you will lose all the special formating, images, etc.
The new body will only contain the caracters without format.
I think you can't put formatted text on the body property, you have to use the rtfbody property or like you did when you copy the body of your original appointment, use the WordEditor property in the Inspector object.
So, try to use the WordEditor of the new Item you're creating (like you did to take the original content) and to add content in it.
That's what i had to do for putting formatted text in the body of an AppointmentItem in C#.
I did something like that :
Word.Document myDoc = myItem.GetInspector.WordEditor;
Word.Paragraphs paragraphs = myDoc.Content.Paragraphs;
Word.Paragraph para = paragraphs.Add();
para.Range.Text = yourFormattedTextHere;
After that, you may need to release the variables created, but i'm not sure about that.
I am using the following vba code which should search for all emails with a specific subject title i.e. with the subject 'test'
Then only if the email is unread then save the attachment from that email into a folder.
There may be one or several emails with the subject test so I want all the unread emails with the subject test to have their attachments saved to the folder.
Here is my code:
Sub Work_with_Outlook()
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Dim olNs As Outlook.Namespace
Dim Fldr As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim myItem As Object
Dim myAttachment As Outlook.Attachment
Dim I As Long
Dim olMail As Variant
Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
Set olNs = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set Fldr = olNs.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set myTasks = Fldr.Items
Set UnRead = myTasks.Restrict("[UnRead] = False")
Set olMail = myTasks.Find("[Subject] = ""test""")
If Not (olMail Is Nothing) And UnRead.Count = 0 Then
For Each myItem In myTasks
If myItem.Attachments.Count <> 0 Then
For Each myAttachment In myItem.Attachments
If InStr(myAttachment.DisplayName, ".txt") Then
I = I + 1
myAttachment.SaveAsFile "\\uksh000-file06\Purchasing\NS\Unactioned\" & myAttachment
End If
Next
End If
Next
For Each myItem In myTasks
myItem.UnRead = False
Next
MsgBox "Scan Complete."
Else
MsgBox "There Are No New Supplier Requests."
End If
End Sub
This does work to some degree, if I only have one email with the subject 'test' and it is unread then the script will get the attachment from that email and save it to my folder. However, if I have one email with the subject 'test' which is read and another email with the subject 'test' which is unread then the code won't work?
Please can someone show me where I am going wrong? Thanks in advance
It looks like you need to combine both comditions into a single one and use the Find/FindNext or Restrict methods to get an instance of the Items class which contains all items correspodning to your conditons. For example:
Set resultItems = myTasks.Restrict("[UnRead] = False AND [Subject] = ""test""")
See Enumerating, Searching, and Filtering Items in a Folder for information in MSDN.
Also you may find the sample code in the following articles:
How To: Use Find and FindNext methods to retrieve Outlook mail items from a folder (C#, VB.NET)
How To: Use Restrict method to retrieve Outlook mail items from a folder
How To: Get unread Outlook e-mail items from the Inbox folder
Advanced search in Outlook programmatically: C#, VB.NET
how do I move the files once its been send out successfully to c:\complete
Can I limit the attachments to 10 attachments per email.
each file size is like 300kb
Option Explicit
Sub SendMessage(Optional AttachmentPath)
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim objOutlookMsg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objOutlookRecip As Outlook.Recipient
Dim objOutlookAttach As Outlook.Attachment
Dim objOutlookFile As String
'// Attachment Path
AttachmentPath = "C:\Reports\"
'// Create the Outlook session.
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
'// Create the message.
Set objOutlookMsg = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objOutlookMsg
'// Add the To recipient(s) to the message.
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("omar")
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("omar")
objOutlookRecip.Type = olTo
'// Add the CC recipient(s) to the message.
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("omar")
objOutlookRecip.Type = olCC
'// Set the Subject, Body, and Importance of the message.
.Subject = "Reports"
.Body = "the Attached reports are complete !" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
.Importance = olImportanceHigh '//High importance
'// Add attachments to the message.
objOutlookFile = Dir(AttachmentPath & "*.*")
Do While Len(objOutlookFile) > 0
.Attachments.Add AttachmentPath & objOutlookFile
objOutlookFile = Dir
Loop
'// Resolve each Recipient's name.
For Each objOutlookRecip In .Recipients
objOutlookRecip.Resolve
If Not objOutlookRecip.Resolve Then
objOutlookMsg.Display
End If
Next
'//.DeleteAfterSubmit = True
'//.Send
.Display
End With
Set objOutlookMsg = Nothing
Set objOutlook = Nothing
End Sub
It is not clear where you run the VBA macro code (Outlook, Word, Excel and etc.).
Anyway, there is no need to create a new Outlook Application instance in the Outlook VBA macro:
'// Create the Outlook session.
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Instead, you can use the Application property, for example:
'// Create the message.
Set objOutlookMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
You can use the FileSystemObject for managing files on the disk. See Accessing Files with FileSystemObject for more information.
Also the Outlook object model provides the BeforeAttachmentAdd event for Outlook items which is fired before an attachment is added to an instance of the parent object. It provides an instance of the Attachment class to be added and the Cancel parameter which can be used to cancel the action. Just set to true to cancel the operation; otherwise, set to false to allow the Attachment to be added.
sorry one more question, can I stop outgoing email if there is no files in c:\reports\
The best way is to check the folder before runnig the VBA macro. You can use the FileSystemObject to get the job done.
The Application class from the Outlook object model provides the ItemSend event which is fired whenever an Microsoft Outlook item is sent, either by the user through an Inspector (before the inspector is closed, but after the user clicks the Send button) or when the Send method for an Outlook item, such as MailItem, is used in a program. It provides the item reference being sent and the Cancel parameter. If the event procedure sets the Cancel argument to true, the send action is not completed and the inspector is left open.
You can use both these events to check out whatever you need.
Finally, you may find the Getting Started with VBA in Outlook 2010 article in MSDN helpful.
Thanks to the excellent assistance given on this site I found the code below - which works perfectly. I cannot (embarrassingly enough) figure out how to loop through the entire Inbox to move all emails (rather than selection as the code below does).
Any assistance most gratefully appreciated it.

I had not heard of Redemption before reading your question. It looks very interesting so thank you for the information; I will try it next time I need to write a new Outlook macro.
I assume from the lack of an answer to your question that few others use Redemption either.
The Redemption website implies that the structure of Redemption code will be almost identical to standard Outlook code. I can only recall once writing a macro which operated on user selected items but my recollection is that the code looked like yours. The code below is standard Outlook but I hope that is enough for you to create the equivalent Redemption code.
You macro has the comment ' Moves selected emails with correct dates maintained. This implies you think there is a method by which emails can be moved so that dates are not maintained. I do not know such a method.
The code below examines every item in the Inbox. I did not want to move everything out of my Inbox so I have skipped items that are not mail items and are not from a specific sender.
I hope this is enough to get you going.
Sub MoveWithRecDate()
Dim FolderDest As MAPIFolder
Dim ItemToBeMoved As Boolean
Dim ItemCrnt As Object
Dim FolderSrc As MAPIFolder
Set FolderSrc = CreateObject("Outlook.Application"). _
GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set FolderDest = FolderSrc.Parent.Folders("Cabinet")
For Each ItemCrnt In FolderSrc.Items
ItemToBeMoved = True ' Assume item to be moved until discover otherwise
With ItemCrnt
If .Class = olMail Then
If .SenderEmailAddress <> "noreply#which.co.uk" Then
' Mail item not from Which
ItemToBeMoved = False
End If
Else
' Not mail item so do not move
ItemToBeMoved = False
End If
If ItemToBeMoved Then
.Move FolderDest
End If
End With
Next
End Sub
