autoexec or startup with Outlook
I am writing a VBA module to add a menu item and do some basic work behind
the scenes in Outlook. I would like to put this together in a setup.exe type program for delivery to my clients ... can this be done ? Also, I am having a devil of a time getting a startup or autoexec type function to add the menu item when Outlook starts ... Is this even possible? Wherever I add code (even in application.statup) it is ignored ??? many thanks all, jON

Distributing VBA code is not a good idea and not very robust. The best
practice is to use a COM addin and then you can add your UI in the OnStartupComplete or OnConnection event handlers. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Jon Rowlan" wrote in message ...

I'd review the information at http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=28
to see what your options are for VBA code. For COM addin information start at http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=36 -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Jon Rowlan" wrote in message ...
