I have an Excel form that sends to a designated mailbox
when the user clicks a button. I have the recepient
mailbox and subject line working fine but would like to
alert someone (the administrator of the mailbox) that a
new message has arrived by sending her (not the recepient
mailbox) an email indicating a new message has arrived in
the mailbox.

Is there any way to fire a message to one mailbox upon the
action of a message being received by another mailbox?

Thanks!
Kathryn

The easiest way to do this would be to set up a rule in the mailbox that's receiving the message and have it forward the received message to the administrator.

If you want to do it programmatically, you would need access to the Inbox of that mailbox and could then monitor it with the usual MAPIFolder.Items.ItemAdd event.
