dll or exe file creating in Outlook 2000

[×× ×¡×˜×¡×™×”]

Hello

I wrote some VBA code in Outlook 2000 VBA editor and now i would like to
distribute it. How do I create the installation exe and where the program
code should be placed?

Now i can see my code in Tools->macro-> VB editor, and i don't want users to
see it there.In addition, every time i open outlook, i got "This Outlook
Session contains macros... enable/disable.." message. So it must be some dll,
perhaps ( i have no knowledge in this area )

So, what do i need to create the installation file? Is it possible to do it
from Outlook 2000 VB editor ?

Thanks,
anastacia

I'm not sure how to make .dll's or .exe's in office 2000 (it can be easily
done in office xp) but I think the way to remove that 'enable macros' message
is to reduce your macro security. I'm not sure where that option is located
in outlook, but it should be reasonably easy to find. As for making sure
other users don't see your code, there is two options. One, and easiest to
do, is to go into the editor, right-click on your project, and the click
'properties'. Under there you will find a 'lock' or 'security' tab, and it
should be easy from there on. The other is to create the macro in a 'hidden'
document and then export it into outlook. There is an excelent walkthrough on
how to do this in excel @

I would also suggest skimming through these collumns:

That is the article I found explaining how to make COM and .dll's. You most
likely will have to go into the Tools>References thingy in VBA and activate
the "Microsoft Add-In Designer" in order to do what is explained in that
document. Good Luck!
