Hey Folks,

Anyone have any ideas how you could make outlook turn it's out of office reply on and off at certain times of day and/or dates?

My first thought is there's no way to do this, but i'm hoping for someone to prove me wrong.

Thanks

I honestly don't believe it's possible to set it up the way you're describing. At least.. I've never heard of anyone doing that or ever seen an option for it. (and I've spent a fair bit of time in Outlook)

JordyO - is probably right I cant find anything to do that unless there is a rule that can be set or some sort of salvo.

Hmm, I read all your responses and they confirmed what I've feared for the last couple months, however I just brainstormed something.

Outlook has the ability to run command line parameters. For example:
"outlook.exe /autorun macroname"

Outlook also has the ability to use macro's.

If that is the case, one would think you could write a macro to enable the out of office message. Then, in theory you could create a batch file or similar to run the above mentioned outlook command line switch to run the macro and turn on the out of office. Then at a later point, that same or maybe a different batch file would run a second outlook macro to turn off the out of office reply.

Only problem is, you can only create macro's via VB Scripting and I don't know jack about VB scripting.

Does this whole idea seem plausible to anyone else? Or am I simply living a dream?

I had actually thought of that, but just didn't know how to implement it or if it really WAS even possible.

Sounds like a really complicated setup just to avoid clicking when you're in or out of the office
