You just need to use the importance property on the mail item.

So put this near the MyMail section:

MyMail.importance = olImportanceHigh
‘can be olImportanceNormal, olImportanceHigh or olImportanceLow

As long as it takes to copy the file from one system to the next. Seven hours seems like there might be trouble with the hard drive its being pulled from, or you’re copying over a very slow USB connection. It should only take 15 minutes or so to copy the 15GB file.

From there, you shouldn’t have to import anything; it should just open up.

Now, if you’re running a consistency check, that’s different and can take many many hours depending on the size of the PST (which at 15GB is pretty big.)

Is there a way to flag the email as high importance?

Never mind, I got it. I forgot to add “Dim MynewBodyText As String” at the top.

I placed it here, and I get that compile error.

‘This gives it a subject
MyMail.Subject = Subjectline$

‘ Now we can replace tokens to our heart’s content
‘ without worrying about corrupting the “master” template

MynewBodyText = MyBodyText

MynewBodyText = Replace(MynewBodyText, “[[Display Name]]”, MailList(“DisplayName”))

MynewBodyText = Replace(MynewBodyText, “[[ArrivalDate]]”, MailList(“ArrivalDate”))

MynewBodyText = Replace(MynewBodyText, “[[DepartureDate]]”, MailList(“DepartureDate”))

‘This gives it the body
MyMail.Body = MyBodyText

This is great! I’ve gotten it working up until the part where I need to change the code to read the tokens. I get a Compile error: variable not defined. Where in the sample code does this piece go?

‘ This line will copy the “master” template into
‘ a variable we can mess around with

MyNewBodyText = MyBodyText

‘ Now we can replace tokens to our heart’s content
‘ without worrying about corrupting the “master” template

MyNewBodyText = Replace(MyNewBodyText, “[[FirstName]]”, MailList(“FirstName”))

MyNewBodyText = Replace(MyNewBodyText, “[[NumberOfUnits]]”, MailList(“NumberofUnits”))

Could you possibly post the code with the tokenizing built in?

Thanks a million.

Comment on Backing Up To Multiple Removable Drives in Windows 2008 R2 by Richard Marklew

Hi,

Trouble is, I want to have the backup always go to the internal drive and to the currently attached USB drive. If I cannot do this then I will have to try and find an alternative.

Richard.

Remove the internal drive from the list of backup targets, and it should go to whatever external target is available.

Hi,

Thanks for this. However, when I try the backup it always send the backup to the first drive, in my case an internal drive. The backup never uses the USB drive! Any ideas?

Richard.
