Hi Guys,

I'm setting up a new system for some of our users, and the long and the short of it is I want them to set flags on the outgoing mail so that when it reaches it's destination, rules on the inbox can use the flag to filter the mail into relevant folders.

For instance, in one example a user may create a new message, fill in the address, subject and body and then click on the 'message flag' icon on the toolbar, overwrite the 'Follow up' string with say 'For Canterbury' and then send their mail. When the mail reaches it's destination a rule reads the 'For Cantebury' flag and moves it into a relevant folder.

Now it all works fine, but the system is set to be expanded, and if possible I'd like to have a toolbar on all the users new mail, that has buttons relating to all the possible flags, they press the relevant button, and hey pretso the flag is set.

I tried recording a new macro, going through the process above, but none of the actions were recorded, if I had the vba script, I could easily amend it for all the given flags, and create a toolbar, saving them time, and me headaches as they're bound to make typos and the like if they manually have to type the flags.

So can this be done? If so, anyone know how?

Hope all that makes sense, and many thanks for any help you're able to offer me.

Nick
