My goal was to be able to create a special Outlook Rule that evaluated the subject line of a message, and if it met my criteria would take Outlook offline. I use this when I'm away from my office and forget to take outlook offline, so that it is not picking up my messages from the server while I'm out, leaving them unread on the server for use on my mobile devices.
ReplyDeleteI found your script while searching for VBS to take outlook offline, and it worked great, except that it would open a new window when executed.
For others wishing to do this... After a bit more investigation and code hacking, this solution worked for me, taking OL offline using the active window. Immediately upon receipt it takes outlook offline, and you may receive a benign error in the status bar saying that the send/receive was interrupted (because, essentially it was, by the script):
Dim oOL
Set oOL = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Not (oOL Is Nothing) Then
Set objCBs = oOl.Application.ActiveExplorer.CommandBars
objCBs.FindControl(, 5613).Execute
End If
Set oOL = Nothing
