This is an Outlook security feature. If you go to the Tools menu, under Macro, and then Security..., you'll see your current security setting and you can change it. Just to test if this is your probably, you might temporarily set it to Low, to allow all macros to run. If that fixes the problem, you might consider changing the security setting to something higher that still works for you. I actually used the "Digital Certificate for VBA Projects" tool under Microsoft Office Tools on the Start menu to create my own digital certificate that I could then use to sign my own macro. To sign the macro, in the VBA editor with the macro open, I selected "Digital Signature" from the Tools menu, and I selected the digital signature I'd created in the previous step. Then I went into those macro security settings mentioned above, set it to High, and added my own certificate to the list of Trusted Publishers. Again, if you can stomach low security settings, I think you could just turn them off and not hassle with all of this. I can't, so I jumped through the hoops to make it work.

But off the top of my head, I'm guessing Outlook 2007 does message URIs differently. In my code, I take the EntryID of the message and prefix "Outlook:". That's the way it works for Outlook 2003. No idea how it might work in 2007. Ken, I haven’t tried any of this with Vista or Office 07. But off the top of my head, I’m guessing Outlook 2007 does message URIs differently.

I'm not sure what the problem is for you, but I would troubleshoot it by verifying that you do, in fact, have permissions to access messages in the folder that this hyperlink points to. You can take an Outlook URL like that and go to Start->Run, paste the hyperlink into the run box, hit enter, and it should pull up the message. Keep in mind that my code moves the message to a folder called "saved" that is a subfolder under the default Inbox folder. If you have something different for your setup and haven't adjusted the macro for it, you should do so. Sorry for the huge delay on getting back to you on this, Paul.

Check the address and try again." Any ideas on what might be 'broken' in my setup?

You must add a reference to the Microsoft Forms 2.0 library, which should be located at c:\windows\system32\fm20.dll. I've updated the text of the blog and the text download file, adding a comment to that effect. Thanks for catching that for me! Ah, that’s one thing I forgot to add to the code listing.
