A common problem when moving mail between different mail applications or when migrating from other applications to outlook is the received date is reset to the date the mail is moved.

Can you offer a suggestion on how I might adapt this macro to reset the received date to the sent date?

Terrific help this article.

I have utilised the methods to generate a macro that passes information from a selected contact into a word template.
I am having trouble passing the phone numbers to variables

Dim strFullName
Dim strCompanyName
Dim strFirstName
Dim strBusinessFax

Set objApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
'Set objSelection = objApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection
Set objItem = objApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection
strDate = CStr(Date)
'MsgBox "Date: " & strDate

strLetter = "Bookmarks.dot"

'strMsg = objItem.Phone3

MsgBox strMsg
For Each objItem In objSel
strFullName = objItem.FullName
strCompanyName = objItem.CompanyName
strFirstName = objItem.FirstName
Set strBusinessFax = objItem.Phone3
Next

the codes a bit messy and i have to weed out the superflous bits yet but the problem i get is a message saying the property or method is not supported for the object type when it gets to the businessfax line (last line i have included here)

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Ken

There is a lot on moving messages between folders here:

Jerome, Outlook itself provides no such objects, although if you're using WordMail as the editor, you can use the Selection object from the WordEditor. YOu might want to take a look at the capabilities of the SafeInspector object from the Redemption library at http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/

Hello,

Congratulations for your article ! I am currently in the need of a macro which get the text selected in an email. Can I get this with the Selection Object or is there a special way to copy the selected text in a string ?

Thanks for your help and the quality of your work,
Regards

Ruben, you'd use the same Selection technique, just using a different property, DueDate. You can use the Date() function to return today's date.

Is there a way to select a number of items in Tasks folder and change the past due date to current date?
