Question

I am trying to set the reply-to address of outbound emails based on whether a particular address is in the “To” or “CC” field of the outbound message. I have gotten this far, only to stumble on “Object required” errors on the “Set myCounter…” line. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim oMyItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim i As Integer
Dim AddressEntry As AddressEntry
Dim myCounter As Integer
Set oMyItem = Item
Set myCounter = oMyItem.Recipients.Count

For i = 1 To myCounter
    Set AddressEntry = oMyItem.Recipients(i).AddressEntry
    If (AddressEntry = "someuser@someaddress") Then
        oMyItem.ReplyRecipients.Add "replytouser@someaddress"
    End If
Next i
End Sub

Answer 1

Your error is on

Set myCounter = oMyItem.Recipients.Count

because VB uses Set to assign an object (a class), while you’re getting an integer!
So you could change it into

Dim myCounter As Integer

myCounter = oMyItem.Recipients.Count
