Example
In this example, when a new contact is added to the Contacts folder, the contact item is attached to a mail message and sent to a distribution list named Sales Team. The sample code must be placed in a class module, and the Initialize_handler
routine must be called before the event procedure can be called by Microsoft Outlook.
Dim myOlApp As Outlook.Application
Public WithEvents myOlItems As Outlook.Items
Public Sub Initialize_handler()
Set myOlItems = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts).Items
End Sub
Private Sub myOlItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
Dim myOlMItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim myOlAtts As Outlook.Attachments
Set myOlMItem = myOlApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
myOlMItem.Save
Set myOlAtts = myOlMItem.Attachments
' Add new contact to attachments in mail message
myOlAtts.Add Item, olByValue
myOlMItem.To = "Sales Team"
myOlMItem.Subject = "New contact"
myOlMItem.Send
End Sub
