Alternative to using SENDKEYS in Outlook 2003.

[David]

We are currently using a few sendkeys macros to do one of the following three
things.
1) type specific text inside an email message.
2) save a document in Outlook format.
3) add a reply to email address to an email.

Here are some examples of the code currently being used.
1) SendKeys "Please advise on status of order# "

2) SendKeys "%fa%too{TAB}"

3) SendKeys "%VP%A{TAB}[email protected]{ENTER}"


The reason for wanting alternatives to these are the main issue of the
NumLock and CAPSLock being turned off when either the 2 or 3 codes are run. I
also know that the sendkeys function is the worst way to get this done, but
is the only thing that is working (somewhat) for now.

Thanks for any help.

1) Add the text to a MailItem's Body property.

2) Call the MailItem's Save method, and pass the file name with the ".msg"
extension and olMSG as the second argument.

3) The MailItem has a ReplyRecipients collection. You can add the address to
that collection.

For instance, if you want to work with one opened MailItem then it's
accessable via Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.
