Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example creates a new e-mail message, uses the Add method to add "Dan Wilson" as a To recipient, sets the Subject property, and displays the message.

Sub CreateStatusReportToBoss()
    Dim myOlApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
    Dim myRecipient As Outlook.Recipient
    Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set myItem = myOlApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    Set myRecipient = myItem.Recipients.Add("Dan Wilson")
    myItem.Subject = "Status Report"
    myItem.Display
End Sub

If you use Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) in a Microsoft Outlook form, you do not create the Application object, and you cannot use named constants. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript code.

Sub CommandButton1_Click()
 Set myItem = Application.CreateItem(0)
 Set myRecipient = myItem.Recipients.Add("Dan Wilson")
 myItem.Subject = "Status Report"
 myItem.Display
End Sub
