I've spend quite a while developing a Custom Outlook Form with VBscript (to
connect to DB). When running the form (Tools, Custom Forms, Design, Run) it
works fine.
Now I would like to distribute this form to 500 users. I can email the .oft
fil eto all with a 4page email explaining how to run this form.
Then I thought it would be nice to have a button on the toolbar to fire this
form.
Furthermore, to distribute all of this in a single executable file.
With 3 days of reseach and struggeling I finally managed to:
Make a .exe in VB6 which adds the button to the outlook toolbar. Currently
there is no code behind the click event.
And that's it... I tried executing .bat files (outlook.exe /c
IPM.Appointment.Booking), I tried publishing the .oft... absolutely nothing
works... in some instances I managed to open the custom form, BUT the
VBscript didnt execute...
Is the above scenario possible? I need to use VB6 since users ranges from XP
to 98, and if I used .NET the .net framework will be a problem.
