vbaNEWBIE

Hopefully someone here can help....I would like to move items from my inbox
based on a specific situation. I have the code below for part of it but I
need to add more code to complete it. I am using Outlook 2007 and the code
will run from a Module when initiated by the User.


I would like to move items if meets ALL three conditions:
(1) comes from the Sendername coded below - AND -
(2) the email has been READ - AND -
(3) and the sent date is 14 days old or older



Can anyone help me understand how to modify the code below to accomplish
this ?


Sub MoveItems_Inbox()
Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim myInbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim myDestFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim myItems As Outlook.Items
Dim myItem As Object
Set myNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myInbox = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set myItems = myInbox.Items

Set myDestFolder =
Outlook.Session.Folders("PersonalFolder").Folders("PersonNameFolder")
Set myItem = myItems.Find("[SenderName] = 'PersonName'")
While TypeName(myItem) <> "Nothing"
myItem.Move myDestFolder
Set myItem = myItems.FindNext
Wend
End Sub

Modify the filter like this: [SenderName] = 'x' AND [Unread] = 'false' AND
[SentOn] <= '...'

Please see the VBA help for how to use a date with the Find function.

Thanks Michael - so that I understand I would change it to the following:
Set myItem = myItems.Find("[SenderName] = 'PersonName' AND [Unread] =
'false' AND [SentOn] <= 'DateToMove'")

Did I move the quotation marks correctly ?

Will have to search on using a Date with a Find function.

thanks !

Another thought on the Date issue.....is there a way to utilize the Date
function in the filter so that you could use something like If DateReceived <
(Date - 14) Then move to another folder ?

I have used the (Date - 14) within VBA for Excel and it works great and if
this would work it would allow for basically a variable to be used rather
than a specific date. This would be helpful if someone wanted to regularly
run the macro to move emails older than 14 days without having to code it
differently each time.

Thoughts ?

If the filter isn't as flexible as you need it for the date, filter the
items just for SenderName and Unread. Then loop through the result, read
each item's SentOn property, and do your calculation with it.

Any suggestions ?

Date functions in Outlook are the same as in Excel.

I would like to know if you ever figured out the Date problem. I have a very basic code that has incorporated portions of this but I cannot get the most recent email from a Specific Sender to pull up. The Macro always pulls up the oldest email.

Here is the line I am struggling with:

Set myItem = myItems.Find("[SenderName] = 'REPORT WRITER' AND [SentOn] = 'Date' AND [Subject] = 'GENERIC'
")

As Michael Bauer wrote earlier: have a look at the help pages how to use a date with the .Find method.

Your code, as written, cannot work as intended. At minimum, it should look this:
Set myItem = myItems.Find("[SenderName] = 'REPORT WRITER' AND [SentOn] = " & strDate & " AND [Subject] = 'GENERIC'")
where strDate is a string representation of the date you're interested in. For the needed format of such a string,
you should inspect the .SentOn property of any mail item.
