MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / May 2004Macros
We are using Outlook 2000 and have created a custom form which includes the fields "Date last contacted" and "Client Rating". The main use for these is that we can then create a report that shows all clients with a specific rating that have not been contacted for the last (say) 30 days It is posible to manually filter by number of days and Client Rating by View => Current View=> Customize Current View=> Filter ...... Advance My question is this. Is there a smarter/shorter way to do the same thing using macros - does anyone know of a macro that does some/most of what I am looking for Thanks Lou. It is not possible to filter views programmatically in Outlook 2000. That feature was added in Outlook 2002 SP2.

In Outlook 2002, most of the view details are exposed as the View.XML property. You need SP2 or later to work with the <filter> element. The articles and samples at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnout2k2/html/odc_customviews.asp and http://www.outlookcode.com/threads.aspx?forumid=4&messageid=19 provide an overview, but nothing on filtering. Best way to understand the filters is by example -- set up a filter you want, then look at its XML representation.
