Commands on the Ribbon can't be executed programmatically from VBA, AFAIK.

Works like a charm! Now how would I do this if the email was open. The
same
"Save to Vignette IDM" is located on the Ribbon on the Add-Ins tab in the
Toolbar Commands group. Thank you so much.

This VBA macro should execute that button on the Standard toolbar in an
Explorer window:

Sub RunIt()
Dim cb As Office.CommandBar
Dim cbb As Office.CommandBarButton
Dim ctrl As Office.CommandBarControl
Dim exp As Outlook.Explorer

Set exp = Application.ActiveExplorer
Set cb = exp.CommandBars("Standard")
For Each ctrl In cb.Controls
If ctrl.Caption = "Save to Vignette IDM" Then
Set cbb = ctrl
cbb.Execute
Exit For
End If
Next

Set cb = Nothing
Set cbb = Nothing
Set ctrl = Nothing
Set exp = Nothing
End Sub

We'll take what we can get. The addin is being very difficult. The
button
is on the Standard Toolbar and is captioned "Save to Vignette IDM".
The
addin is also under the File menu captioned "Save to Vignette IDM". No
other
key strokes. Other info - the registry key has a value name of TOWER
E-MAIL
CAPTURE and a value data of 4.0;C:\Program
Files\Tower\ttoutext.dll;1;01000010000000;11000001 00. Is there
anything
else
you need?

Clicking on the button might be possible, but that's not the way I
read
your
request. If that's all you want to do, tell us the name of the toolbar
and
the caption the button uses, including any accelerator keys.

Oh boy - it seemed too easy. All we wanted to do was "click" on the
toolbar
button through visual basic rather than actually clicking on it with
the
mouse.

Any mechanism to invoke the .dll programmatically would have to be
exposed
by the original programmer of that .dll. In other words, it's not
something
we can help you with. You'll need to ask the creator of the
document
management system.

news Outlook 2007 - Our document management system has an Outlook
exchange
client
extension that allows us to import an email directly to the
document
management system. We click on an email, click on the command
button
and
the
import dialogue box launches. After searching, I found that the
ECE
points
to a .dll in regedit. Ultimately, we want to create a macro that
asks
the
user to import attachments. If the user chooses Yes, that ece
above
runs.
If the user chooses No, another macro runs. How do I write the
code
to
invoke the .dll when the user chooses Yes. Not being very
literate
in
programming, I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
