I would like to save a local copy of a message in Outlook.

I see the MailItem.SaveAs(WideString,OleVariant) but am uncertain what the OleVariant is for and can find no reference to the MailItem object in the adxnet2010.PDF which comes with ADX.

Is there another help PDF I'm unable to find??

Best Wishes

Hi Tony,

Saves the Microsoft Outlookitem (item: An item is the basic element that holds information in Outlook (similar to a file in other programs). Items include e-mail messages, appointments, contacts, tasks, journal entries, notes, posted items, and documents.) to the specified path and in the format of the specified file type. If the file type is not specified, the MSG format (.msg) is used.
Syntax

expression.SaveAs(Path, Type)

expression A variable that represents a MailItem object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
Path Required String The path in which to save the item.
Type Optional Variant The file type to save. Can be one of the following OlSaveAsType constants: olHTML, olMSG, olRTF, olTemplate, olDoc, olTXT, olVCal, olVCard, olICal, or olMSGUnicode.

Remarks


Also note that even though olDoc is a valid OlSaveAsType constant, messages in HTML format cannot be saved in Document format, and the olDoc constant works only if Microsoft Word is set up as the default email editor.
