Action Object

         Properties         Methods        

Represents a specialized action (for example, the voting options response) that can be executed on an item. The Action object is a member of the Actions collection.

Using the Action Object

Use Actions(index), where index is the name of an available action, to return a single Action object.

The following Visual Basic for Applications example uses the "Reply" action of a particular item to send a reply.

Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
myItem = CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set myReply = myItem.Actions("Reply").Execute

The following Visual Basic for Applications example does the same thing, using a different reply style for the reply.

Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
myItem = CreateItem(olMailItem)
myItem.Actions("Reply").ReplyStyle = _
    olIncludeOriginalText
Set myReply = myItem.Actions("Reply").Execute
