Auto-reply with custom foms

[Guest]

Good afternoon all. I work in a post print shop, and have one person
downloading mail on a Macintosh using entourage 10.1.0. I am setting up a
new PC station to assist in the downloading, but have hit a snag.

I need to send out customized forms (good art, bad art, missing PO, etc)
based on which folder a message gets moved to. This is farily simple to
setup in entourage, but hard to do based on the set of rules given by outlook
2000. I am not sure if I need to use a macro or a vba script. I do not have
experience with either.

Ideally, I would want it to work like this. When the user moves the message
from the inbox to a folder, the script would recognize that move and reply to
it using a template defined for that individual folder. I don't believe this
would be too terribly hard to setup, I just have no idea where to start.

Thanks,
JB

You can use the integrated Help in the Outlook VBA Editor (press F1 with the
cursor inside some syntax you want help on), or read/download developer
documentation here:

I also recommend exploring http://www.OutlookCode.com.
