Outlook-VBA: detecting opening a file event












0















Using either:



Private Sub myInspector_NewInspectr(ByVal Inspector As Outlook.Inspector)


or



Application_ItemLoad(ByVal Item As Object)



I need to find out if Inspector.CurrentItem or the Item loaded are opened from inside of outlook (by clicking an email) or by openning a .msg or .oft file saved somewhere.



I also need to find out the name of the file and the path to it.



Is there a way to do that?

          You cannot do that. More than that, recent (Outlook 2007 and newer) versions first create a temporary message in the primary store first when you double click on an MSG file.,

          • That's disappointing! Is there a way to intercept the temporary message creation?

          • Only when the message is saved... And then there is no way to distinguish it fro ma regular message created by the user and placed in the Drafts folder.
