VBA in Outlook 2002, FTPing an attachment

I am working on a little macro that when it sees a certain subject line, that it runs and FTPs the email attachment to another system.

I wrote a script up in a normal VBA editor, and got an FTP going using "FTPConnect, FTPSend, and FTPDisconnect" commands. When I moved the script over to Outlook's VBA editor, it choked on *everything* I think.

I normally operate in my nice little UNIX shell (both kinds)... and am operating WAY outside my knowledge base here. Is Outlooks VBA not really VBA? Can Outlook FTP? Do I need to build an FTP module or attach it to a DLL? Does this code already exist?

I am lost. Any help is appreciated... and please pretend like Im an 8 year old, cause I feel like one right now

Thanks!

What do you mean by "normal" vba editor? VBA editors are embedded in the applications that support vba.

A good support site for Outlook coding is www.slipstick.com

I guess normal is a bad description... Ive seen that I probably dont have the best VBA software out there. Its an editor that came with a set of UNIX/MVS/FTP applications, called chameleon. Im starting to think it missing a lot of functionality.

Thanks for the heads-up on the website, I will check it out.

Is there any VBA software, not microsoft written, out there that has all the functionality? Or is it best to just go with MS? I work at a company that probably wont allow me to purchase it, is why Im asking.

Thanks for your help.
