Outlook Command

[Audiojoe]

Afternoon you crazy cats,

I have some lovely VB code in a module to send an email, it contains such gems as:

.subject "My friend fancies you"
.body "Tick YES or NO"

and other such crud. But can anyone tell me what the command line is to make the mail flagged for follow up?

I've tried .followup but no **** good

First person to help me gets my total admiration until 5:04pm GMT, when I expect to find another problem that needs solving

Try with

.FlagStatus
.FlagDueBy
.FlagRequest


-------------

expression.FlagDueBy

------------------------

FlagRequest Property

Thanks for the reply, I can't get it to work though. What single command should I be inserting that will put a follow up flag on the mail?

Has anyone got an idea about this? It's only a small thing but it's really bugging me?

I believe it should work with

.FlagStatus = olFlagMarked
