Macro help for searches

[Colonel Blip]

Hello, All!

I am using OL2k3 under W2K.

I would like to write a simple macro that does the following:

Executes a 'Find' (F4 key)
Fills the find box with a word, in my case "Subject:"
and begins the search.

Additionally I would like a macro that simply executes the Find Next feature
(shift+F4) but I hope I can figure that out from the help with the above
code.

Thanks.

Colonel Blip.

You can find the CommandBarControl that matches that command and Execute it
or use SendKeys to send an F4 but you have no access to the settings in Find
so you can't set up a search term. That has to be done manually. You could
set up an AdvancedSearch using WebDAV terms for your search terms but that
can only be done using Outlook 2002 or later.

Guess I'll stick with the brute force approach.

Thanks.
