Outlook-VBA: detecting opening a file event

Question

Using either:

Private Sub myInspector_NewInspectr(ByVal Inspector As Outlook.Inspector)

or

Application_ItemLoad(ByVal Item As Object)

I need to find out if Inspector.CurrentItem or the Item loaded are opened from inside of outlook (by clicking an email) or by openning a .msg or .oft file saved somewhere.

I also need to find out the name of the file and the path to it.

Is there a way to do that?

Answer 1

You cannot do that. More than that, recent (Outlook 2007 and newer) versions first create a temporary message in the primary store first when you double click on an MSG file.,
