    I had an old version of Outlook and during 2017 purchased the latest version of Office Pro 2016 with Outlook. 

    I eventually navigated my way to allow me to include a script within a rule.

    The script simply writes the 'body' of the mail item to a file (for further processing elsewhere).  The rule was working OK but has now stopped - I have a breakpoint which would should immediately trigger if it was working and no new files are being created.

    I exited Outlook and reopened.  Developer is still on the menu bar.  The script is still an option in Rules and the script included.

    I presume I need some option to be enabled when I relaunch Outlook but can't find a way to do that.

     

    Also - for testing - I recollect I had a means of running with the current mail item whilst in VBA but haven't managed to find that either.  Don't really need this now but could be useful in the future.

     

    I seem to close to overcoming most of the obstacles thrown at me but need a little help with this problem.

    Any help appreciated

    Hi,

    The 'Run a script rule' option is disabled due to a security update in Outlook 2016. If you want to enable this, you may follow the steps in the link provided by Victor to edit a registry key.
