Whacking it usually works :)

I see what you mean :confused: Pretty brave of these people to be anonymous, methinks. :mad: Andy Metcalfe - Sonardyne International Ltd Trouble with resource IDs?

Hello Melissa, I am sure that there is a programatic interface to do what you want, however I have to ask if you have considered using the built-in Outlook Rules Wizard. You can "Start an Application" based on specific words that exist on your subject line. This may satisfy your needs depending on your version of Outlook and whether you want this to be a client or server side rule. Hth ~Cliff
