O2003 - Open Group Calendar connected to public folder

[Frank Bouillon]

Hi,

I made a macro (O 2003), wich changes to a public calendar folder and opens
a group calendar connected to this calendar via SendKeys.

On my machine that's working fine even if I am in an email or contacts
folder.

On my clients machines the macro overhauls itself and the menubar for the
calendar is not yet available when I trigger SendKeys.

************** CODE ****************
Function OpenGroupCalendar(strGTP As String)
Dim ALL_VAR As OBJECT_XY

Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")

Set myFolder = myNameSpace.Folders("Public Folder").Folders("All Public
Folders").Folders("CompanyXY").Folders("CalendarAccounting")


Set myExplorer = myOlApp.ActiveExplorer
Set myExplorer.CurrentFolder = myFolder

Set cbb = ActiveExplorer.CommandBars.FindControl(, 7002)
SendKeys "%ö"
If Not cbb Is Nothing Then cbb.Execute

Set ALL_VAR = Nothing
End Function
************ END OF CODE **************

Thank you
Frank

Frank, SendKeys is never a stable solution. In your case, what should that
be good for?

If you want to make that group calendar the current one then you could do
that directly:

Dim Folder as Outlook.MapiFolder
Set Folder = ....
Set Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = Folder

Michael, I think Frank is talking not about a calendar folder but about a group calendar item. Those aren't accessible programmatically, except to set properties with CDO or Redemption.

Hi Sue,
you're right.

.... but unfortunately that doesn't help me any further.

It works with SendKeys but if the menubar is not yet available its useless.

I thought doing a little Loop until the menubar is available but I don't
know how to check this.

Something like:
Do until Application.MenuBars("CalendarMenuBar") = True
x = x + 1
Loop

Thanks for any futher help.
Frank
