Example
As it applies to the View object.
The following Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example creates a copy of a view called "New Table View" and saves it in the current folder. To run this example, you need to first create a view called 'New Table View' programmatically or by using the Microsoft Outlook user interface.
Sub CopyView()
'Copies a view
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objViews As Outlook.Views
Dim objNewView As Outlook.View
Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
Set objViews = _
olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Views
'Create copy of View object
Set objNewView = objViews("New Table View").Copy(Name:="Table View Copy", _
SaveOption:=olViewSaveOptionThisFolderEveryone)
End Sub
As it applies to the AppointmentItem, ContactItem, DistListItem, DocumentItem, JournalItem, MailItem, MeetingItem, NoteItem , PostItem, RemoteItem, ReportItem, TaskItem, TaskRequestAcceptItem, TaskRequestDeclineItem, TaskRequestItem, and TaskRequestUpdateItem objects.
This Visual Basic for Applications example creates an e-mail message, sets the Subject to "Speeches", uses the Copy method to copy it, then moves the copy into a newly created e-mail folder named "Saved Mail" within the Inbox folder.
Sub CopyItem()
Dim myolApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim myFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim myNewFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim myCopiedItem As Outlook.MailItem
Set myolApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myNameSpace = myolApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set myNewFolder = myFolder.Folders.Add("Saved Mail", olFolderDrafts)
Set myItem = myolApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
myItem.Subject = "Speeches"
Set myCopiedItem = myItem.Copy
myCopiedItem.Move myNewFolder
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 myNamespace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = myNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(6)
Set myNewFolder = myFolder.Folders.Add("Saved Mail", 16)
Set myItem = Application.CreateItem(0)
myItem.Subject = "Speeches"
Set myCopiedItem = myItem.Copy
myCopiedItem.Move myNewFolder
