starting a macro when open outlook

[Frederico Ottoni]

Hello,
I would like to know how can I do a VBA macro that is fired every time
I open the outlook.
I am used to program in excel VBA and, in it, there is a tool that we
can use to record a macro, isn't there this resource in the outlook?

Thanks,
Ottoni.

Put the code in the Application_Startup event handler in the built-in ThisOutlookSession VBA module.

No, there's no macro recorder. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/vb.htm if you need help getting started with Outlook VBA.

Thanks for that,

but now I need this macro to be fired every hour. Like 9:00 - 10:00 -
11:00 - ...
Can I choose the hour the this macro will be fired by the clock?

Thanks in advance,
Ottoni.

You could use the Windows Timer API to check the current time every xx minutes. See the discussion at http://www.outlookcode.com/threads.aspx?forumid=1&messageid=7964 for sample code.
