In Microsoft Office, we use Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for creating custom programs that enhance Office’s basic functionality and help save time by automating repetitive tasks. We refer to these small VBA programs as Macros.

In this tutorial, we wanted to provide the web’s most complete Macro development resource for Outlook. We will focus on exploring the basics of Outlook VBA for beginners, learn to write macros and then look into some more advanced useful macro ideas. Based on feedback we got, after going though this tutorial, you should be able to develop and run simple VBA macros for Outlook.

• Basics first: We’ll learn how to insert and save a simple custom VBA macro into an active Outlook Session.
• We’ll then set up the macro development environment in our computer.
• We’ll go through the most basic examples of Outlook VBA. This will help you to grasp the Macro development basics and allow you to write simple macros.
• Next, we’ll go ahead and define a shortcut icon for our macro in the Quick Access Toolbar. This will allow the us to run the macro with ease.
• And we’ll finish by enabling Outlook macros and handling their security settings to ensure that the code will actually run when prompted in our computers.

Unlike other Office apps, Outlook does not offer a simple Macro recorder to capture user actions and auto-generate the required VBA code for us in the background.

Additional Outlook Macros ideas

Several of our readers asked whether we could specify further ideas for Outlook Automation. Here are a few ones to get started.

1. Automatically save attachments in incoming messages into a specific folder.
2. Read a list of appointments entries from a CSV file and automatically create appointments in one or more calendars.
3. Automatic task/meeting/contact creation out of incoming emails.
4. Visualize status of attendees response status to a set of recurring meetings.
5. Send Outlook emails from Excel, Word or Access.
6. Download all attachments from a specific Outlook folder into your computer. If your Outlook Account space is limited, you could use this macro to specifically download only large attachments (over 5Mb for instance) to your disk, instead of managing them in Outlook.
7. Export Outlook contacts directly into an Access database. Note that Export contacts to CSV is available in the product.
8. Automatically update meeting information for individual or recurring appointments.
