Application_ItemSend not working

Apparently there is no built-in functionality to Outlook 2002 to
automatically add contacts that you either send or reply to. However,
I found some code that uses Redemption library to add a new contact
whenever you send to an email not in your contact list.

I am supposed to put some of the code in the Application_ItemSend event
for ThisOutlookSession. I hit Alt-F11 to open the Visual Basic editor,
and chose Application from the first drop down, and ItemSend from the
second drop-down and it created the stub sub.

I added the code in and tried sending an email. Nothing happened. I
tried putting a breakpoint in the Application_ItemSend event, and it
never gets hit.

Why woud the ItemSend event not get triggered when I send an email??

Thanks,
Toby

It is possible the code you put the breakpoint on was inside a conditional
statement that was never True. Without seeing the code, it is hard to judge.

Try putting a simple msgbox statement as the first line of the item_send
event

Outlook code questions should be asked in one of the programming groups,
like news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba

Did you check VBA security and other basics? See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/vbabasics.htm

What are your macro permissions set to? If they are Medium you should be
prompted for permission to run macros when Outlook starts. If High you'd
need to sign the macro code project to get things to run.

Thank you all for the response. Ken takes home the prize. It was the
macro security level. It was set to high, which disables macros
without prompting. I set it to medium, then restarted Outlook, and
said Enable Macros at the prompt. ItemSend code runs now when a
message is sent.

Thanks,
Toby
