Setting up a Rule to run during specific times

[Sondra]

I might be stretching the possibilities of Outlook 2003, but I'm hoping
someone can help.

Is there anyway to have a specific rule run during a specific timeframe?

For example:

Forward to XXX between 6:00 pm to 3:30 am; otherwise forward to xxx.

I have a rule that forwards mail from a mailbox to a specific user during
normal business hours; however, after the normal business hours I would like
it forwarded to a different individual.

Any help would be great, if this is even possible.

You would need to write VBA code to check the time and do the correct
forwarding

Thanks for that answer. I'm not familiar with writing VBA in Outlook, can
you give me a starting point.

It's a big subject, esp. if you are not a programmer. Google for Outlook VBA
sample code. I think there are also tutorials at www.slipstick.com
