Hey Folks,
I’m new here looking to find out if my recent brainstorming is feasible and if so, how hard it would be.
What i’m looking to do is have an out of office reply that is automatically turned on at a specific time of day on Friday, and then turned off at a specific time of day on Monday.
I understand that outlook has command line switches including: “/autorun macroname” which run’s a specific macro. In turn obviously, outlook gives the ability to create macro’s.
It’s my assumption that a person could write a batch file to run at a specific time that in turn runs the macro that turns on the out of office reply. Then similarly, at a later point the batch file would prompt the macro that turns off the out of office message.
My issues/questions are I don’t know anything about VB scripting nor VB scripting in outlook. Is such a task feasible? Would it require a large amount of work to write the macro? I think the batch file would be simple enough to write.
