Hey, I'm just looking for a site that has a reference with examples of dde
calls that work with outlook.

I have some specific things I need to do, one of which is save the currently
open message to a specific location.
 
What do you mean? I can't use a macro if that's what you're suggesting. I
need to know if there is a DDE command to do this.

I'm not aware of any DDE method that can access Outlook's object model (or I
don't consider them DDE). You need to use VB or VBA and go through the
object model or use Extended Mapi. CDO can do some stuff too... which method
is best depends on exactly what you are trying to do.

Have you posted in the programming group "down the hall"?
 
Outlook doesn't support DDE especially. About all there is for DDE support
is the Explorer.BeforeItemPaste event in the object model. That supplies the
clipboard content, the target MAPIFolder and a Cancel argument. But that's
still Outlook object model code.
