Hi,

I'm new to macros and was trying to run the following and kept getting the error: "Compile errors: Variable not defined".

It was highlighting the "olMailItem". What am I doing wrong?


Sub Rectangle1_Click()
On Error Resume Next


Dim myDirM As String
Dim objOutlook As Object
Dim OutMail As Object


Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"

you need to declare the variable olmailitem in your dim section.
