I sort recipients when composing an email.
If I have 3 recipients (for example), run the sort macro, and then remove a recipient from the To: text box, running the macro a second time causes the removed recipient to re-appear. When I step through the macro on the second run, I can see that both .CurrentItem.To
and the Recipients
object still have all 3 recipients.
It is intermittent. Is there any way to force the Recipients
object to update when the To: text box has been edited?
I can't find anything in the Outlook VBA documentation and trial and error has proved fruitless.
Code excerpt:
Public Sub SortRecipients()
With Application.ActiveInspector
If TypeOf .CurrentItem Is Outlook.MailItem Then
Debug.Print "Before: "
Debug.Print "To: " & .CurrentItem.To
Debug.Print "# of recipients: " & .CurrentItem.Recipients.Count
' Force an update if recipients have changed (DOESN'T HELP)
.CurrentItem.Recipients.ResolveAll
Set myRecipients = .CurrentItem.Recipients
' Create objects for To list
Dim myRecipient As recipient
Dim recipientToList As Object
Set recipientToList = C开发者_高级运维reateObject("System.Collections.ArrayList")
' Create new lists from To line
For Each myRecipient In myRecipients
recipientToList.Add myRecipient.Name
Next
' Sort the recipient lists
recipientToList.Sort
' Remove all recipients so we can re-add in the correct order
While myRecipients.Count > 0
myRecipients.Remove 1
Wend
' Create new To line
Dim recipientName As Variant
For Each recipientName In recipientToList
myRecipients.Add (recipientName)
Next recipientName
.CurrentItem.Recipients.ResolveAll
End If
End With
End Sub
Steps to reproduce:
- Add 4 recipients to the "To" line of a new email in Outlook 2007 (click "Check Names" to resolve the addresses.)
- Run the SortRecipients macro. (Recipients are now sorted)
- Delete one recipient, re-run the SortRecipients macro.
- After doing this, I still have 4 recipients (the deleted one returns).
You can (and should) add an Option Explicit
, Outlook would have told you that myRecipients
was not declared at the begining of your code.
I added:
Dim myRecipients As Recipients
[EDIT] That wasn't enough to get the To
field refreshed. I tried several things but eventually, i added a .CurrentItem.Save
instead of your try of .CurrentItem.Recipients.ResolveAll
I think i made it work this way on my Outlook 2007.
