2 questions

1) Debug.Print should be able to print integers so I do not see the reason behind changing i to a String.
Even if I input the Debug.Print line in the code, will it show up by me just replying to a message. I do not know how to just run the sub routine AddRecipToContacts() In the Visual Basic Editor and have it show me the values for different variables.

2) What will changing the name Expsrv.dll on my hard drive do? How does Jet4.0 come in to play? Is the Contacts Folder using Jet 4.0 as its databse engine?
BTW, Expsrv.dll shows up in 3 different places on my hard drive. Do I have to change the name in all 3 places.
c:\winnt\$NTUninstallKB837001$
C:\winnt\ServicePackFiles\i386
c:\winnt\system32

When in doubt about a property or method, check the object browser: Press
ALt+F11 to open the VBA environment in Outlook, then press F2. Switch from
All Libraries to Outlook to browse all Outlook objects and their
properties, methods, and events. Select any object or member, then press F1
to see its Help topic.

If i is declared as an Integer, try converting it to a string:

strFind = "[Email" & Format(i) & "Address] = " & _
AddQuote(strAddress)
Debug.Print strFind

Something else to try: Locate the file Expsrv.dll on your hard drive.
Rename it, then try Detect and Repair again. The instructions in the KB
article at http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;239114
might also be helpful.

I get the same error message
The Run-time errors bunbers are differenct but the message is still the
same. The message states
Failed to start the Expression Service. The Expression Service might not
be installed. This problem may be resolved by using Detect and Repair on
the Help menu or re-running Office XP setup.
I was trying to put " Debug.Print i & strFind" right after
strFind = "[Email" & i & "Address] = " & _
AddQuote(strAddress)
but I got no output.
Ideally I would like to have used MsgBox strFind. But I do not know if
this will work.
I tried to comment as many lines out and try to further narrow down the
line of code that spits ou the error. It seems to be the line of code that
is causing the error is :
Set objContact = colContacts.Find(strFind) .
I have no idea what this line of code means nor can I pull it up on Google
Search. The only search items I get on colContacts.Find() are all code
written by you.
Would be nice to be able to find out what the value of strFind is after
each iteration. Should be coming up blank.
Any adivce????

What is the value of strFind when you get the error? Are you getting
the
same error message you reported earlier or something different?
AddQuote() can be anywhere but needs to be Public if it's in another
module.

I followed the instruction and ran Hel | Detect and Repair? The
system
said it ran it successfully.
I added your simple test macro to ThisOutlookSession module and
ran it
with F5 and it ran successfully.
I inserted a breakpoint in the Application_ItemSend at the
following line
(If Item.Class = olMail Then) and when I tried replying to a message
it
broke at that line. So the Application_ItemSend eventHandler is
firing
properly. It would have to fire properly because it was making a
method
call to AddRecipToContacts.
It is in AddRecipToContacts method that I am getting my error.
When the
program gets to the routine to check and see if the recipient is
already in
Contacts it goes through the following code.
strAddress = objSRecip.Address
For i = 1 To 3
strFind = "[Email" & i & "Address] = " & _
AddQuote(strAddress)
Set objContact = colContacts.Find(strFind)
At the "Set objContact = colContacts.Find(strFind)" is where
the
routing gets hung up and displays the runtime error.
So i did a little debuggin for you. I write a little advanced
java code
so I can follow most codes. I commented out the whole subroutine
(check
to see if the recipient is already in Contacts). So I commented out
the
following lines.
' For i = 1 To 3
' strFind = "[Email" & i & "Address] = " & _
' AddQuote(strAddress)
' Set objContact = colContacts.Find(strFind)
' If Not objContact Is Nothing Then
' Exit For
' End If
' Next
' if not, add it
' If objContact Is Nothing Then
This way the program would just add users I reply to not checking
to see
if they exist in the Contacts Folder. This worked successully. It
added
the user's name and e-mail address I replied to.
Can you help me debug the part of your code I commented out. Is
this line
of code proper.
strFind = "[Email" & i & "Address] = " & _
' AddQuote(strAddress)
Also, can the AddQuote method belong in the same module or does
it have to
be in a separate module.
Thanks for all your hlep.

I set the Security to Low and I restarted Outlook.
When I went to reply to a message I got the following error.
Run-time error '-1214234619(b7a04005)':
Failed to start the Expression Service. The Expression Service
might not
be installed. This problem may be resolved by using Detect
and
Repair on
the Help menu or re-running Office XP setup.
The error message has a few button on the bottom "End" "Debug"
"Help"
When I click on Debug, it directs me to the Modules Folder under
Project1
and highlights the following line with an arrow in the side
bar.
Set objContact = colContacts.Find(strFind)
I do not know what this means or how to fix it. Can you please
advise?
Also, The Application_ItemSend event handler is in the
ThisOutlookSession
module.
I do not know how to run a simple Outlook Macro. Can you please
tell me
how? Also, how do I set a breakpoint in the
Application_ItemSend
event
handler to see if it's firing.
Thank you so much for all your help.

You must set Tools | Macro | Security to Low or Medium or
leave it
set to
High and use the Selfcert.exe tool that comes with Office to
sign the
project. Restart Outlook after changing the security level.
The Application_ItemSend event handler must be in the
ThisOutlookSession
module.
For troubleshooting, see if you can run any simple Outlook
macro, and
set a
breakpoint in the Application_ItemSend event handler to see
if
it's
firing.
