Get the name of the users default signature

[Guest]

I have manganed to get the user name from WSHNetwork and have formatted and
inserted everything else I need for the custom message but I cannot find how
to get the name of the user's default signture for new messages. Don't want
to change it just get the name for insertion.

Tried to search fully before posting. Thanks in advance.

In Outlook 2003 you can have a default signature for each account. The names
are stored in the registry, e.g. under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging
Subsystem\Profiles\[User]\9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676\00000002

Here 00000002 is one of the accounts. There might be more, look for
'newSignature' and 'Reply-Forward Signature'.

Thanks Michael- I am probably being dense but how do I pull the value from
that key. I can get the path to the registry but not that actual value in
key 00002/ under new signature.

It might be that the value doesn't exist.

So probably your code is wrong. What's your code?

That looks perfectly normal. Like many Outlook profile settings, signature names in in Unicode, so if you're looking for a simple ASCII string, you have to do some parsing. This function should be helpful:

Public Function Hex4ToString(Data As String) As String
Dim strTemp As String
Dim strAll As String
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To Len(Data) Step 4
strTemp = Mid(Data, i, 4)
strTemp = "&H" & Right(strTemp, 2) & Left(strTemp, 2)
strAll = strAll & ChrW(CDec(strTemp))
Next
Hex4ToString = strAll
End Function

For example, hex4tostring("4c006f00720069000000") returns "Lori".
