Example

As it applies to the Attachments object.

Remarks

For e-mail messages in Microsoft Outlook Rich Text format, a value of 1 for the Position parameter specifies that the attachment should be positioned at the beginning of the message body. A value 'n' greater than the number of characters in the body of the mail item specifies that the attachment should be placed at the end. A value of 0 makes the attachment hidden.

The following Microsoft Visual Basic /Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example creates a mail item, adds an attachment, and displays it. To run this example, make sure a file called Test.Doc exists in the C:\ folder.

Sub AddAttachment()
    Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
    Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
    Dim myAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
    Set myItem = myOlApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    Set myAttachments = myItem.Attachments
    myAttachments.Add "C:\Test.doc", _
        olByValue, 1, "Test"
    myItem.Display
End Sub

As it applies to the Explorers object.

Remarks

The explorer window is initially hidden. You must call the Display method of the Explorer object to make it visible.

The following Visual Basic/VBA example displays the Drafts folder in an explorer window without a Navigation Pane or Folder List.

Sub DisplayDrafts()
 Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
 Dim myExplorers As Outlook.Explorers
 Dim myOlExpl As Outlook.Explorer
 Dim myFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
 Set myExplorers = myOlApp.Explorers
 Set myFolder = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder _
    (olFolderDrafts)
 Set myOlExpl = myExplorers.Add _
    (myFolder, olFolderDisplayNoNavigation)
 myOlExpl.Display
End Sub

If you use Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) in an Outlook form, you do not create the Application object, and you cannot use named constants. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript code.

Set myExplorers = Application.Explorers
Set myFolder = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(16)
Set myOlExpl = myExplorers.Add(myFolder, 2)
myOlExpl.Display

As it applies to the Inspectors object.

Remarks

This method is essentially identical to the GetInspector property.

This Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications example prompts the user for a company name, uses the Restrict method to locate all contact items in the Contacts folder with that name, and displays each one.

Sub DisplayMyContacts()
 Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
 Dim myFolder As MAPIFolder
 Dim myItems As Items
 Dim myRestrictItems As Items
 Dim answer As String
 Dim filter As String
 Dim myInspector As Inspector
 Dim x As Integer
 answer = InputBox("Enter the company name")
 Set myFolder = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI") _
    .GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
 filter = "[MessageClass] = 'IPM.Contact' AND [CompanyName] = '" & answer & "'"
    
 Set myItems = myFolder.Items
 Set myRestrictItems = myItems.Restrict(filter)
 For x = 1 To myRestrictItems.Count
    Set myInspector = myOlApp.Inspectors.Add(myRestrictItems.Item(x))
    myInspector.Display
 Next x
End Sub

As it applies to the Actions object.

This VBA example creates a new mail message and uses the Add method to add an Action to it. To run this example without any errors, replace 'Dan Wilson' with a valid recipient name.

Sub AddAction()
 Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
 Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
 Dim myAction As Outlook.Action
 Set myItem = myOlApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
 Set myAction = myItem.Actions.Add
 myAction.Name = "Link Original"
 myAction.ShowOn = olMenuAndToolbar
 myAction.ReplyStyle = olLinkOriginalItem
 myItem.To = "Dan Wilson"
 myItem.Send
End Sub

If you use VBScript in an Outlook form, you do not create the Application object, and you cannot use named constants. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript code.

Set myItem = Application.CreateItem(0)
Set myAction = myItem.Actions.Add
 myAction.Name = "Link Original"
 myAction.ShowOn = 2
 myAction.ReplyStyle = 4
 myItem.To = "Kim Buhler"
 myItem.Send

This Visual Basic/VBA example creates a new task item, and then prompts the user for the name of a contact to link to the item. If the contact is found, it is added to the item's Links collection.

Sub AddLink()
 Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
 Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
 Dim myFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
 Dim myTask As Outlook.TaskItem
 Dim myContact As Outlook.ContactItem
 Dim myItems As Outlook.Items
 Dim tempstr As String
 Set myTask = myOlApp.CreateItem(olTaskItem)
 Set myNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
 Set myFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
 tempstr = InputBox("Enter the name of the contact to link to this task")
 If tempstr <> "" Then
    tempstr = "[Full Name] = """ & tempstr & """"
    Set myItems = myFolder.Items.Restrict("[MessageClass] = 'IPM.Contact'")
    Set myContact = myItems.Find(tempstr)
    myTask.Links.Add myContact
    myTask.Display
 End If
End Sub

If you use VBScript in an Outlook form, you do not create the Application object, and you cannot use named constants. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript code.

Set myTask = Application.CreateItem(3)
Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(10)
tempstr = InputBox("Enter the name of the contact to link to this task")
If tempstr <> "" Then
    tempstr = "[Full Name] = """ & tempstr & """"
    Set myItems = myFolder.Items.Restrict("[MessageClass] = 'IPM.Contact'")
    Set myContact = myItems.Find(tempstr)
    myTask.Links.Add myContact
myTask.Display

As it applies to the Folders collection.

This VBA example uses the Add method to add the new folder named "My Contacts" to the current (default) Contacts folder.

Sub AddContactsFolder()
 Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
 Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
 Dim myFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
 Dim myNewFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
 Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
 Set myNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
 Set myFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
 Set myNewFolder = myFolder.Folders.Add("My Contacts")
End Sub

If you use VBScript in an Outlook form, you do not create the Application object, and you cannot use named constants. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript.

Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = myNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(10)
Set myNewFolder = myFolder.Folders.Add("My Contacts")

This VBA example uses the Add method to add three new folders in the Tasks folder. The first folder, "Notes Folder", will contain note items. The second folder, "Contacts Folder", will contain contact items. The third folder, "Public Folder" will be a public folder. If the folders already exist, a message box will inform the user.

Sub AddFolders()
 Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
 Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
 Dim myFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
 Dim myNotesFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
 Dim myContactsFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
 Dim myPublicFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
 Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
 Set myNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
 Set myFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderTasks)
 On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
 Set myNotesFolder = myFolder.Folders.Add("Notes Folder", olFolderNotes)
 Set myContactsFolder = myFolder.Folders.Add("Contacts Folder", olFolderContacts)
 Set myPublicFolder = myFolder.Folders.Add("Public Folder", olPublicFoldersAllPublicFolders)
 Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
  MsgBox "This folder already exists!"
  Resume Next
End Sub

As it applies to the Items collection.

This VBA example gets the current Contacts folder and adds a new ContactItem object to it and sets some initial values in the fields based on another contact. To run this example without any error, replace 'Dan Wilson' with a valid contact name that exists in your Contacts folder.

Sub AddContact()
 Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
 Dim myNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace
 Dim myFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
 Dim myItem As Outlook.ContactItem
 Dim myOtherItem As Outlook.ContactItem
 Set myNamespace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
 Set myFolder = myNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
 Set myOtherItem = myFolder.Items("Dan Wilson")
 Set myItem = myFolder.Items.Add
 myItem.CompanyName = myOtherItem.CompanyName
 myItem.BusinessAddress = myOtherItem.BusinessAddress
 myItem.BusinessTelephoneNumber = myOtherItem.BusinessTelephoneNumber
 myItem.Display
End Sub

This VBA example adds a custom form to the default Tasks folder.

Sub AddForm()
 Dim myOlApp As New outlook.Application
 Dim myNamespace As outlook.NameSpace
 Dim myItems As outlook.Items
 Dim myFolder As outlook.MAPIFolder
 Dim myItem As outlook.TaskItem
 Set myNamespace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
 Set myFolder = _
    myNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderTasks)
 Set myItems = myFolder.Items
 Set myItem = myItems.Add("IPM.Task.myTask")
End Sub

As it applies to the OutlookBarGroups collection.

This Visual Basic/VBA example adds a group named Marketing as the last group in the Shortcuts pane.

Sub AddGroup()
 Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
 Dim myolBar As Outlook.OutlookBarPane
 Set myolBar = myOlApp.ActiveExplorer.Panes.Item("OutlookBar")
 myolBar.Contents.Groups.Add "Marketing", myolBar.Contents.Groups.Count + 1
End Sub

If you use VBScript in an Outlook form, you do not create the Application object. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript.

Set myolBar = Application.ActiveExplorer.Panes.Item("OutlookBar")
myolBar.Contents.Groups.Add "Marketing", myolBar.Contents.Groups.Count + 1

As it applies to the OutlookBarShortcuts collection.

The following Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications example adds a shortcut to the Microsoft home page on the Web.

Sub AddShortcut()
 Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application

 Dim myOlShortcuts As Outlook.OutlookBarShortcuts
 Set myOlBar = myOlApp.ActiveExplorer.panes.Item("OutlookBar")
 Set myolGroup = myOlBar.Contents.Groups.Item(1)
 Set myOlShortcuts = myolGroup.Shortcuts
 myOlShortcuts.Add "http://www.microsoft.com", _
    "Microsoft Home Page", 1
End Sub

If you use VBScript in an Outlook form, you do not create the Application object. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript code.

Set myOlBar = _
    Application.ActiveExplorer.Panes.Item("OutlookBar")
Set myolGroup = myOlBar.Contents.Groups.Item(1)
Set myOlShortcuts = myolGroup.Shortcuts
myOlShortcuts.Add "http://www.microsoft.com", _
    "Microsoft Home Page", 1

As it applies to the Recipients collection.

This VBA example creates a new mail message, uses the Add method to add 'Dan Wilson' as a To recipient, and displays the message. To run this example without errors, replace 'Dan Wilson' with a valid recipient name.

Sub CreateStatusReportToBoss()
 Dim myOlApp As Outlook.Application
 Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
 Dim myRecipient As Outlook.Recipient
 Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
 Set myItem = myOlApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
 Set myRecipient = myItem.Recipients.Add("Dan Wilson")
 myItem.Subject = "Status Report"
 myItem.Display
End Sub

If you use VBScript in an Outlook form, you do not create the Application object, and you cannot use named constants. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript code.
