Explorers or Inspectors... Which to use to catch my event?

Appologies if this is a double post: I tried to reply to the original
post (help writing a VBA to move email) but that didn't seem to work.

I use Outlook 2007 on a Win XP machine. I have 1 large Outlook window
open with Preview turned ON. This is how I view all my email. I just
use the down-arrow to go to the next email. If I don't explicitely
move an email, or flag it before moving to another email, I'd like my
VBA scrip to move it to an Archive Folder.

If i use the INSPECTOR object, all I can see is "CLOSE", and this even
is not triggered in the main inspector when switching emails.

If I use the EXPLORER object, I can trigger on the "SELECTIONCHANGE"
event but then I'm too late since the Selected item in the explorer is
already the "new" item.... but what I really wanted to do was to
Archive the email I just left Smile

.

Any ideas?

Thanks

You can use SelectionChange and store references to all selected items in a
collection. If you get the next SelectionChange, move the items from your
collection.

Yup... I had that idea overnight and it worked. Thanks a lot for
confirming this is the way to go.
Now I just have to figure out which object to declare to cover all
items in my inbox (which are not all mailItems)... but I posted a
different thread on this Smile

Thanks again,
