Thank you for your response Sue. I had seen your code before on this and
made many many attempts to get it to work but alas I was unsuccessful..

With my new found info I searched around on set up and found the CDO under
Outlook.
Loaded it. Then made sure that it was referenced in the VBA Editor.

Sadly I still cannot seem to get it to work. I am not a programmer such as
you MVP's so excuse my ignorance. I have however created many macros etc
that work for me, (probably look like Frankenstein to you all.)

I looked at your code and while not very knowledgeable about functions etc
When I run it by using

Sub someting()
GetFromAddress (objMsg)
End Sub

It dies in your code at the line

 strEntryID = objMsg.EntryID

Runtime error 424
Object Required

I tried checking
http://www.cdolive.com/code.htm
But could not see anything that fit my situation.

Im sure its got to do with Something that I didn't Declare or An inspector
one of those mysterious things of its ilk . These Preamble things in code
are difficult to sort through for me.
How would I get your code kick started. (Windows 2000 Outlook 2000)

Or even more simpler code (if possible) that can be plugged into what Im
doing.

You do not need to be using Exchange in order to use CDO. You must, however,
install CDO, which is an optional component available during Outlook setup.
