Macros to set options

[murrah]

Hi,

I have done a lot of VB programming for Access and Excel and this is my first exposure to Outlook 2003.

What I want to do is to create a macro that will allow me to set a specific stationary file and signature file by clicking a toolbar button. I have 2 business units that I work for - each with their own "branding" but I need to use just one Outlook profile.

I can set the files manually each time (via Tools/Options/Mail Format) but that is a pain.

I cant find any reference to a "tools" or "options" object whose properties I can set. Is there one ?

Taking it one step further (assuming the above is possible), can I run the above macro on the event of changing the account ? ie I send email from one of two possible email accounts - one for each business unit. I would like the stationary and signature to be set automatically once I select the email account I am sending from.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Murray

It seems from responses on another forum that Outlook doesnt allow you to set any options via macros.

Looks like I will be reduced to either loading the appropriate stationary into the new email by macro or manipulating the stationary file itself.

Oh well......

I don't think macros work like that. They are entity-specific.
