OlInspectorClose

Example

This Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example saves and closes the item displayed in the active inspector without prompting the user. To run this example, you need to have an item displayed in an inspector window.

Sub CloseItem()
    Dim myolapp As Outlook.Application
    Dim myinspector As Outlook.Inspector
    Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
    Set myolapp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set myinspector = myolapp.ActiveInspector
    Set myItem = myinspector.CurrentItem
    myItem.Close olSave
End Sub

If you use Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) in an Outlook form, you do not create the Application object, and you cannot use named constants. This example shows how to create a mail item, add a recipient, and close the item after prompting the user to save changes.

Set myItem = Application.CreateItem(0)
myItem.Recipients.Add "David Goodhand"
myItem.Close 2
