Creating a Custom Outlook Rule

I have an MS Access application that uses Outlook Automation to start
an email thread. The subject line is somthing like: "TID(427) This is
my Subject blah blah ..."

I am trying to set Outlook up so that whenever the email response has
"TID(###)" it automatically copies that email to a it's matching
windows subdirectory. Like ...

\\MyServer\MyMailShare\TID(427) This is my Subject blah blah ...

So, from Outlook, the custom rule would need to first recgnize that
"TID(" is an incoming response to the application, then copy that
email to its associated subdirectory

The version of Outlook that I am using is 2003 and higher.

'preciate any help with this!

You can only achieve this some additional VBA code. For instance;
condition: with "TID(" in the subject
action: run a script

In your script you can then further analyze the subject field and move the
item to the correct folder.

Roady -- I have purchased a lot of reference material for various
programming tasks and am poised to purchase the Outlook 2007
Programming reference. This will probably be the only Outlook VBA
task I will use it for if it in fact can help with this task. Do you
have this book? And is this task covered there? And if I need to
post portions of the code to colloborate with developers will that be
a problem?

Thanks!
