Public Folder Items

[James Bond via OfficeKB.com]

Hello,

I have for a times ago a treed with the same problem. But the problem is not
solved. Sorry.

Public Function MakeAppointment(strOutlookFolderID As String, strSubject As
String, datDatum As Date, strLocation As String, strBody As String, bolAllDay
As Boolean, Optional strvon As String, Optional strbis As String, Optional
strOutlook As String, Optional strOutlookStorID) As String
5 On Error GoTo Handler
Dim olfolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objAppt As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Dim olns As Outlook.Namespace

10 Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
15 Set olns = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
20 olns.Logon , , False, False

25 If Nz(strOutlookStorID) = "" Then
30 Set olfolder = olns.GetFolderFromID(strOutlookFolderID)
35 Else
40 Set olfolder = olns.GetFolderFromID(strOutlookFolderID,
strOutlookStorID)
45 End If

50 If Nz(strOutlook) = "" Then
55 Set objAppt = olfolder.Items.Add
60 Else
65 Set objAppt = olns.GetItemFromID(strOutlook, olfolder.StoreID)
70 End If


75 With objAppt
80 .Subject = strSubject
85 If Nz(Trim(strLocation)) <> "" Then
90 .Location = strLocation
95 End If
100 If bolAllDay = False Then
105 .Start = CDate(datDatum & " " & strvon & ":00")
110 .End = CDate(datDatum & " " & strbis & ":00")
115 .AllDayEvent = False
120 Else
125 .Start = datDatum
130 .AllDayEvent = True
135 End If

'recurring appointment
'.IsRecurring

140 .ReminderSet = False
145 .Body = strBody
'.Importance = olImportanceHigh
150 .Save
155 MakeAppointment = .EntryID
160 End With

165 olns.Logoff

170 Set objAppt = Nothing
175 Set olfolder = Nothing
180 Set olns = Nothing
185 Set olApp = Nothing
190 Exit Function
Handler:
195 MsgBox Err.Number & "|" & Err.Description & "|" & Erl()
End Function


Now I get an Error in line 40.
Mainly when Outlook was closed.

Waht can I do. How can I start Outlook per VBA?

Thanks for all ideas.

James

You probably need to include parameters in your Namespace.Logon statement to tell Outlook what mail profile to load. Line 20 now assumes that Outlook is open or that a default mail profile will load automatically.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/com...spx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba65

That's the problem that I'm trying to draw your attention to. If you just use an empty string and Outlook isn't running, it may not know what mail profile to use to start Outlook. Ideally, your application should either be a COM add-in, so that it uses whatever profile Outlook is already launched with, or it should ask the user what profile it should use.

Hello Sue,

I want to start the standard profile.
How can I start Outlook. Can I search the outlook.exe and start it with
shell?

Calling CreateObject("Outlook.Application") will start Outlook (assuming your anti-virus software doesn't block it).

By "standard profile," do you mean the user's default profile?
