I've searched and searched and been unable to find what I need. And know that I searched first not because I didn't think anyone here would know, but because I felt bad asking without having gone through some effort on my own.
You see, I'm lazy. And I get junk e-mail. Because of those two pieces of information, I want to be able to hit a single button to (a) Mark all selected items as read, (b) add all selected items to "Junk Senders List," and (c) move the selected items to the "Junk E-mail" folder.
In Excel, I could record a macro, get an idea of how the code was written, then extrapolate my own code (read: futz around until it worked) in cases where I couldn't do what I wanted with a simple recording (anything requiring a loop, for example). But Outlook doesn't have the option to record a macro, so I have to start from scratch, and I don't know the relevant commands/code. So I ask the compugurus or Hatrack. Help me save a couple clicks if you can. Thanks, team.

I've never found a good reference for Outlook VBA. When I have had to do it in the past, I've used the code-suggest feature to zero in on the possible objects and methods and then tried various combinations until I figured out what did what.
And I never dealt with UI stuff, so I don't even have a hint for you. Sorry.
So I'm posting not to help, but to tell you not to feel bad that you couldn't find anything.

Yeah -- I've used the code-suggest feature, too (though I didn't know it was called that), with positive results in Excel. I just can't get the information I'm looking for in Outlook.
So this stuff never came up in a court case you were referencing or anything, huh? Oh well....

quote:This code combines the frequently used steps of adding the senders of all selected e-mails to the Outlook "Junnk Sender's List" and then moving the messages to the junk mail folder. I then create a toolbar button associated with this "macro."
The core of which is based on code from Sue Mosher's article in Windows & .Net Magazine and the kludge to access the unpublished "Add to Junk Senders" is from Rick Pearce's post to the microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba newsgroup.
Dagonee P.S., I ran a software company that did mostly Microsoft development for 11 years in my pre-law days.
I bookmarked the link, but I haven't tried it yet. It also appears to combine only two of the steps, rather than all three. But maybe I can combine it with other stuff I found in my searches and get everything to work. Thanks again for your efforts on my behalf.

No problem. But my motivations are at least partly selfish, since if it works I'm going to try it.
