I think you need to update your libraries so that your VBA code works  your using ms outlook

This error    Sub or Function not defined     will come every time when there is some compile error in script  so please check syntax again of your script   I guess that is why when you used msqbox instead of msgbox it throws the error

This probably does not answer your question  but I had the same question and it answered mine   I changed Private Function to Public Function and it worked

I had a similar situation with this issue  In this case it would have looked like this  Sub Test      MsqBox   Hello world   End Sub   The problem was  that I had a lot more code there and couldn t recognize  that there was a misspelling in  MsqBox   q instead of g  and therefore I had an error  it was really misleading  but since you can get on this error like that  maybe someone else will notice that it was cause by a misspelling like this

I solved the problem by following the instructions on msdn microsoft com more closely  There  it is stated that one must create the new macro by selecting Developer -  Macros  typing a new macro name  and clicking  Create   Creating the macro in this way  I was able to run it  see message box below

I need to add that  if the Module name and the sub name is the same you have such issue   Consider change the Module name to mod Test instead of  Test  which is the same as the sub
