[RESOLVED] [Outlook 2003] Mail Item and moving...

Hiya,

I have some code scanning an inbox on a shared email via exchange (through outlook 2003). That part works fine. I am using objects rather than the referenced code. I have set a variable to point to the folder. It seems to be correct, but when I use the mail item .move method it errors with type mismatch 13.

Below are the relevant parts of the code...
Am I missing something easy?

Code:

    Dim objOL As Object, ns As Object
    Dim strFolderPath As String
    Dim strData As String
   
    Dim fInbox As Object
    Dim fArchived As Object
    Dim fProblem As Object
    Dim f As Object
    Dim mi As Object
   
    Dim blnProblemEmail As Boolean, blnAlreadyImported As Boolean, blnDup As Boolean
    Dim blnSkipAll As Boolean
   
    Dim rst As DAO.Recordset, rstSub As DAO.Recordset
    Dim strSql As String, strFld As String
   
    Dim varEmail As Variant, varLine As Variant
    Dim lngEmailLines As Long, lngEmailOn As Long, lngLineParts As Long, lngLinePrt As Long, lngNumberOfFields As Long
    Dim strChassis As String, strFileID As String
   
'---- outlook
    On Error Resume Next
    Set objOL = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
        Err.Clear
        Set objOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    End If
    On Error GoTo 0


    Set ns = objOL.GetNamespace("MAPI")
   
    If fraEmailBoxes = 1 Then
        strFolderPath = "Mailbox - A" 'renamed but this bit does work
    Else
        strFolderPath = "Mailbox - B"
    End If
   
   
    On Error Resume Next
    Set f = ns.Folders(strFolderPath)
   
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
        MsgBox "You do not appear to have outlook running or access to the required folder/email box", vbOKOnly + vbInformation
        blnSkipAll = True
    End If
    On Error GoTo 0
   
   
'---- lists all folders in namespace
'    For Each f In ns.Folders
'        Debug.Print f.Name
'    Next
   
    If Not blnSkipAll Then
        If fraEmailBoxes = 1 Then
            Set fInbox = f.Folders("Inbox")
            Set fArchived = fInbox.Folders("Archived")
            Set fProblem = fInbox.Folders("Problem")
        Else
            Set fInbox = f.Folders("Inbox")
            Set fArchived = fInbox.Folders("Archived")
            Set fProblem = fInbox.Folders("Problem")
        End If
       
        DoCmd.Hourglass True
        For Each mi In fInbox.items
            blnProblemEmail = False
            strChassis = ""
            strFileID = ""
            blnAlreadyImported = False
            blnDup = False
            lngNumberOfFields = 0

'---- other code here to determing the problem email (or not)

           
            If blnProblemEmail Then
'---- move to problem folder
                mi.Move (fProblem)
            Else
'---- move to archived folder
                mi.Move (fArchived) ' <<<< problem is on this line
            End If
           
           
            DoEvents
        Next
        DoCmd.Hourglass False
    End If
   
'---- clean up
    Set fInbox = Nothing
    Set fArchived = Nothing
    Set fProblem = Nothing
    Set ns = Nothing

Hi,


Seems I needed to supply the full path to the folder and it wouldnn't accept the object of that folder. Very weird.

Either that or you can only move to the sub folders (which would be a pain).

Either way, it doesn't work like I thought it might.
