Naming Outlook VBA scripts

Question

Naming Outlook VBA scripts

Richard Wulff | ICISA 20

I have a number of VBA scripts in Outlook to manipulate items in the contacts folder. I would like to name these independently. I have seen that I am supposed to access the "save as" option from the Visual Basic editor. I can not find this (either with the save button or via the File menu option). Can you help please?

Are you just trying to change the name of a module?

If so, in the VBA Editor choose View -> Properties Window (F4), select the module you want to rename and put the new name in (Name).

To export a module, use the File menu or the right-click menu.

Just checking in to see if above information was helpful. If it is useful, would you mind marking the helpful post as an answer? Which would benefit others who also has similar issues in forum.

In addition, looks like your issue is more related to vba, please kindly understand that the Outlook tag here we mainly focus on general issues about Outlook desktop client. In order to better solve your problem, we will add "Office Development" tag.

Thank you, Christie. I was able to export the module to a .bas file, but have not been able to test whether this is executable in Outlook. Is that the case?

Import and test the exported module.

Thank you that works. Renaming might be slightly easier and suits my purposes.
