I would like to run an external program from within a macro in Outlook VBA.

I need some sample code to get to the program.

Also, is there a way to have an Outlook macro run each time Outlook is

started?

Thanks.
 
1) Depending on the program, the CreateObject function might work for you.

2) See the Application_Startup event.

Best regards

For the Application_Startup there's a sample in the VBA help file.

What program do you try to automate, does it offer an object model (like

Outlook, Word etc.) that you can use?

It is a self-written program written in Visual Basic.

In VB6 you can have either a COM application with a creatable, public object

(the root object often is called Application), or a standard exe, which can

be launched with the Shell function.
