I would like both a rule and VBA script to run on incoming messages, which will get processed first? The VBA or the rule?

The rule, but that is easy enough to confirm yourself as well ;-)

You can also create a rule that executes the VBA script if you want to control which one runs first; You could then simply sort your rules.

Just curious; Why both? VBA can do anything that a rule can do as well and more.

Well my outlook kinda started to hang and i wondered if i'd created a conflict. I'll have to recheck my code for any bugs.

As to the vba/rule split, I'm developing something for an end user so i wanted whatever could be transparent to the end user to be as visible as possible, i find that clients are sometimes nervous at stuff they think is out of their control.

Thanks for the response
