Hello All,
(Sorry for the long dissertation but i tried to be as concise as possible)
I am new to VB but not to programming -- Java. I'm trying to write a Macro that will:
a) Monitor inbox (or specific folder) for incoming emails from a particular sender with keywords in the subject
b) Found a start/end date on each email and create an appointment based on the dates and email contents. The appoinment will only have one attendee -- the outlook user.
c) Notify user that an appointment has been created.
Browsing the web I was able to code step (a) and (b, )however, I'm hitting some minor road blocks with (c).
i) The "New Item Alert" is a good option as it does not disrupt the flow of the macro and the content of the alert box remains until it is removed by the user. The problem is that the "new item Alert" does not really allow much programmatically.
ii) Another option would be to have a meeting invitation show up in your inbox similarly to when you get a meeting invite. However, this is not possible when you are the organizer -- or is it?
I'm favoring option (ii), can anyone suggest how this can be achieved? Any other type of notification is also welcome.
Thank you already for your support!
