Rule 'run a script' not running my script

[s.parsley]

I'm trying to use the VBA script below to create a TaskItem from an
email when a particular one of my rules gets triggered. However, it
appears as if the script is never run. Any thoughts? I've tried
tweaking various security settings but this hasn't appeared to help.

Public Sub CreateTaskForEmail(eMail As MailItem)
Dim Task As Outlook.TaskItem
Set Task = ThisOutlookSession.CreateItem(olTaskItem)

'Create a task that will remind me to look at it tomorrow
With Task
.Subject = eMail.Subject
.Body = eMail.Body
.DueDate = DateTime.DateAdd("d", 1, Now)
.ReminderSet = True
.ReminderTime = "10:00"
.Save
End With
End Sub

After you change the macro security settings, you must restart Outlook. Did you do that?

What about a simple procedure with just a MsgBox statement? Does that run?

Thanks Sue - It was the restart Outlook step I was missing!!

Am alternative approach I found was to Self Sign the script for use on
my computer - allowing me to keep my security settings.

See
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/office/office2000/maintain/security/vbamacro.mspx
for full details.

The basic approach is to use C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\selfcert.exe to create the digital signature and then
select this inside Outlook.

Hope this is of use to people.
