Bruce,

I've got an app that uses the Outlook NewMail event to trigger an action based upon a new message hitting the mail box.  Is that what you're looking for?  You want the Outlook application's NewMail event (I think another object may have the same event but it's been a while since I wrote this).
HTH,

Faith has no bounds. 
I have been trying to get Outlook XP to run a VBA sub when a mail item arrives... and I have been following the help files.
The sub, which works fine when run by hand, "exports" the incoming mail item into an Access database.  (See moderators, its not really off topic!     ;-^)    )
SO how do I get outlook to run the vba code?  Using the rule wizard I have found an action called "run a script".  There is no help on it, nor does the listbox in the popup helper get filled in.  Is this what I'm looking for?  Should I stick to the gardening?  Whyarethesepeoplesayingnasty...........
