Which event is triggered when user saves email item? "Kasper" <kasperbolarsen[ at ]gmail.com> 11.09.2006 19:25:16 Hi Group, I am working on an outlook add in based on http://www.microeye.com/resources/template.htm in VB 6.0. I now need to respond to the event that is triggered when the user saves the email item by either using "save" or "Save as". I have done the usual googling but so far I haven't found any clues. Any ideas are most welcome. TIA Kasper Bo Larsen

Re: Which event is triggered when user saves email item? "Kasper" <kasperbolarsen[ at ]gmail.com> 12.09.2006 15:14:46 Dmitry, based on your answer I added a breakpoint in the MailItem.Write event and to me it sure looks like the Write event is not triggered each time the "Save" or "Save as" is activated, strange..... The idea behind my add in is to search the mailitem body for a specific mail reference number. Based on this reference number I am able to look up the path to the place where I store the correspondence with that specific customer. This path should then be should in the "Save As" dialog as the default path. As far as I can understand from various use groups it is not possible to set the InitDir of the save dialog in Outlook. I looked into the possibility to modify the registry entry that specified the default path, but since my users are not admins on their PCs I could not proceed down that road. I have more or less given up on the idea to respond to the Save/Save as event and am now looking at the option to add a special menu item in the right-click menu. Any good idea or suggestions are most welcome Dmitry Streblechenko skrev: [Quoted Text] > MailItem.Write event. >
