I would like to create a macro that begins automatically upon startup in Outlook, similar to AutoExec in Access and Auto_Open in Excel. Is there a comparable routine for Outlook?

Please email me your responses to (e-mail address removed)

Thanks

I have tried application_startup, but it doesn't seem to work. I even
tried creating a simple msgbox to popup upon startup, without success.

Is there anything else I need to do in addition to this in order to get
it to operate correctly?

Thanks

Application_Startup is the correct event handoler. Did you check your macro
security setting?

Yes, the security is set to low so that should not be a problem. Is
there something that I need to set up in the Class Module in order for
this to run?

In Excel, you only need to designate a sub routine as Auto_Open () to
get it to run. Any ideas why a simple startup macro in Outlook does not
work?

Thanks for your help!

There is nothing to set up. Did you build the event handler from the
drop-down lists of objects and events?

Well I got it to work. Unfortunately, it doesn't work every time???? Do
you have an idea why that is?
