Outlook 2000 VBA> Item.send sent but also in outbo (Outlook 2000)

I’m writing a Custom send button macro that saves the current item, moves it to a folder, then sends it.
What’s happening is the item is being sent ok, but appears or remains in the outbox. (users using exchange server 5.5)

Any Ideas how to prevent this? I don’t want to clear out the outbox as the user could be offline.

Thanks

What folder are you moving it to?

Why not just send it? A copy will be saved in the Sent folder unless your code restricts that functionality.

Furthermore, what happends when you click Send/Receive? Does the item stranded in the Outbox stay there? If so, something’s wrong. If not, does the recipient then get 2 copies of the message?

May I be so bold as to suggest you approach the SaveSentMessageFolder property with caution. I suspected that item might be related to your problem. You can actually inadvertantly rename a folder using that property. Read the help on that one very carefully. I speak from exerience…

To prevent a message going to the sent folder, the property to use is:

.DeleteAfterSubmit = True

Good old MS and the weird, nerdy way those programmers do their thing. Get the logic here: copy the message item to the Sent folder, then delete it.
