event echo (event fires twice) vba/vb

[smanky]

hi,

i am using an ItemChange(ByVal item As Object) event to let a msgbox pop up
once a task is completed. for some reason the event fires twice, once as
expected right after a task is completed, and another time after about 1
minute. i don't get it why it behaves like this....

i read somewhere that it might have to do with service packs, respectively
the order of installation of service pack and office. is this so? are there
any workarounds? i would love to avoid doing all the installation work on 15
machines....

oh, by the way, i have the same phenomenon with vb code that does the same.

thanks very much in advance.

p.s. below is my code, since it is very basic and on one level it does what
i expect it to do, i assume that is more or less correct.

Public WithEvents myOlItems As Outlook.Items

Sub Application_startup()
Set myOlItems =
Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderTasks).Items
End Sub

Private Sub myOlItems_ItemChange(ByVal item As Object)
Dim unsers As Outlook.TaskItem
Set unsers = item
If unsers.Complete = True Then
MsgBox "hello world"
End If
End Sub
