Need help.

My user needs to save email to a folder on the network as a PDF.

She has Acrobat, so the ability to save as PDF is there. The Save As dialog

box needs to pop up so she can pick file type.

I have some code to save the open email but the problem is I can not get the

right code to open the Save As dialog box on the screen so she can pick file

type as PDF.

Or the code that would change the File type to PDF.

Sub SaveAsPDF_OLD()

Dim myItem As Outlook.Inspector

Dim objItem As Object

Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

Set myItem = myOlApp.ActiveInspector

'If Not TypeName(myItem) = "Nothing" Then

Set objItem = myItem.CurrentItem

strname = objItem.Subject

objItem.SaveAsdialog ' "C:\" & strname & ".txt", oltxt

End Sub

Any help out there?
 
You can't just make up your own method names, like SaveAsDialog. Look in the

object browser (F2 in VBA) to see what's available for each object. (And if

you do that with the SaveAs method, you'll see that it does not support any

constant for the 2nd argument that would allow for programmatically saving

an item as a PDF file.)

In this case, though, you won't find anything, because Outlook doesn't

expose a direct method for invoking that UI. It has to be done through the

CommandBars collection, as in this Outlook VBA procedure:

Sub ShowSaveAs()

Dim insp As Outlook.Inspector

Dim cbb As Office.CommandBarButton

Set insp = Application.ActiveInspector

If Not insp Is Nothing Then

Set cbb = insp.CommandBars.FindControl(, 748)

If Not cbb Is Nothing Then

cbb.Execute

End If

End If

Set insp = Nothing

Set cbb = Nothing

End Sub

This doesn't really get you very far, unfortunately, because she still has

to pick the path and save as type. The dialog can't be manipulated

programmatically, unless you want to try to code a SendKeys kludge.

FYI, you can use the Outlook VBA code sample at

http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1507 to get the IDs, like 748

for Save As, that you need to be able to execute toolbar and menu commands.

Or use the Outlook Spy tool from http://www.dimastr.com/outspy/.
