VBA - Com Add in (aatachments)

[Neil M]

Don't mean to be long winded here, but I want to include as much detail as
possible. First, I am new to all this and very uneducated, but can follow
instructions. I had posted a ? asking about an add-in for Outlook that would
automatically ask me that there was no attachment is it okay to send.
I got directed to a site with a bunch of code and commands that I have
copied and pasted to a text doc. The trouble is that I have no idea how to
apply it to work and the site I got it from does not have tech support, they
only offer information.
Would anyone be gracious enough to give me some step by step instructions
that an idiot would understand and follow. I know that this is asking alot
and all of you are way above my skill level. However, if anyone could do this
I would GREATLY appreciate it.
Thanks,
Neil M

It is unreasonable to ask for step-by-step instructions on how to construct
something as complex as a COM add-in. If it's above your skill level, then
you need to raise your skill level through study and experimentation.

VBA code for your personal use is another story, though, because it's
relatively simple. If the code you are referring to is the sample at
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=553, you need to follow these
steps:

1) In Outlook, choose Tools | Macros | Security. Change the security from
High to Medium or Low.

2) Restart Outlook.

3) In Outlook, press Alt + F11 to open the VBA coding environment.

4) In the Project Explorer box at the upper-left of the VBA environment,
click the + signs to expand the hierarchy until you see the built-in
ThisOutlookSession module. Double-click that module to open it.

5) Copy the entire code sample into the ThisOutlookSession module.

If you're new to Outlook VBA macros, these web pages should help you get
started:

Sue:

Thank you so much for this reply and the attached instructions. I have been
reading a little on the article you provided. I have to agree with you on
what you said. I am going to back up a bit and start at the beginning
sections of these tutorials and first familiarize myself with the
terminology, steps, methods etc. I shouldn't try to just jump in the middle
of something that I don't understand the basics of. I hope to become more
educated via the links you provided. Once again, thank you.
