So what exactly am I supposed to put in "Account" for this action? I have tried with and without the direct path, and it fails either way.

Thanx

Phil

Hi @PhilSmith

Are you sure that you installed and configured your outlook Application in your PC which you are trying? Because to use your Outlook actions first you need to configure the outlook application with a valid account

OK. Thank you, your example helped. What is being asked for is NOT the data file name, even though the info button clearly says, name of the Outlook Account (DATA FILE NAME). It does not want the data file name.
It wants the Outlook ACCOUNT NAME. Thanx
