For some reason this occurs anytime one particular rule is imposed on an e-mail message. The rule appears to work because it deletes the message but no forward is ever sent and after an error message (Rules in error; the operation failed dialog window),
the rule is turned off. The rule includes a script to forward the message and then as with all rules I create, it stops processing more rules. How can I get Outlook to use the script and stop turning off the rule?
I have the rule set up for a specific account with specific words in the senders address, to run the script below and then permanently delete the original message and stop processing more rules.
I patterned the rule after the following website suggestion:
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/rules/run-script-rule-change-subject-message/
I of course put in an appropriate e-mail address but everything else is just as you see it below.
Sub Forward(Item As Outlook.MailItem)
Set myForward = Item.Forward
myForward.Recipients.Add "alias@domain.com"
myForward.DeleteAfterSubmit = True
myForward.Send
End Sub
I did some more testing and it turns out the message does not get forwarded but it does get permanently deleted, so that tells me the script is not working. However, I can do the same thing w/o the script and it works fine, so it is not the forwarding
address.
Sorry, I am using Outlook 2010 on Windows 7.
