Application_Startup doesn't seem to work - Outlook 2007

I have the following code in Class1 code

Option Explicit

Public WithEvents objReminders As Outlook.Reminders

Sub Initialize_handler()

Set objReminders = Application.Reminders

MsgBox "Reminder handler initialized"

End Sub

Private Sub objReminders_ReminderFire(ByVal ReminderObject As Reminder)

With ReminderObject

' irelevant code removed

> Item.Display

MsgBox .Caption

> Dismiss

End With

End Sub

And this in Module1 code

Option Explicit

Private Sub Application_Startup()

Dim MyClass As New Class1

MyClass.Initialize_handler

End Sub

The "Reminder handler initialized" doesn't get displayed on starting Outlook

and the event handler doesn't trigger.

What am I doing wrong?
 
Why do you use another class module? The issues are:

1) Outlook expects Application_Startup in the ThisOutlookSession module. It

doesn't find the procedure in any other module.

2) The Myclass variable needs to be declared on a module level. Declared in

a procedure, the object will terminate as soon as the last line of it has

been executed.

Best regards

Thanks Michael

This is my first Outlook project (I've been a programmer for over 40 years

though now retired). I'd made the mistake in getting to the code section by

going in via the Visual Basic Editor menu item which creates the

Module1(Code) Module so hadn't found the

ThisOutlookSession(Code) Module.

I'd followed the instructions in Help ("Using Events with Automation" and

"Reminders.ReminderFire Event") to create the Class1(Code) Module as

instructed and I presume I should keep that. Although I cannot see how to

rename the module from Class1 to something more meaningful.

I have now moved this code to ThisOutlookSession viz:

Option Explicit

Dim MyClass As New Class1

Private Sub Application_Startup()

MyClass.Initialize_handler

Application.ActiveExplorer.WindowState = olMaximized

End Sub

Sub Init()

MyClass.Initialize_handler

End Sub

And because again Application_Startup did not fire I added the Sub Init

which I can call from the Macro Menu. After a bit of a struggle certificating

myself. I find that Application_Startup still does not fire but I get my

"Reminder Handler Initialised" prompt when running the Init Macro from the

menu but nothing happens when a reminder fires.

Strange this, as I was getting a result manually calling an Init sub when

the code was in the Module1(Code) Module and I hadn't had to use a

certificate!

I have placed all code in ThisOutlookSession (see below). I have signed it

with a certificate using the MS "Digital Certificate for VBA Projects" tool.

I have deleted the original VBAProject.OTM file yet still the

Application_Startup sub fails to trigger. Running the Init sub from the Tools

- Macro menu does the initilisation and the code then fires when a reminder

is fired. Why is this happening?

Running under Windows Vista Home Premium

Option Explicit

Public WithEvents objReminders As Outlook.Reminders

Private Sub Initialize_handler()

Set objReminders = Application.Reminders

MsgBox "Reminder handler initialised"

End Sub

Private Sub objReminders_ReminderFire(ByVal ReminderObject As Reminder)

With ReminderObject

Stop

If .Caption = "Fence Check Reminder" Then

> Item.Display

> Dismiss

End If

End With

End Sub

Private Sub Application_Startup()

Stop

Initialize_handler

Application.ActiveExplorer.WindowState = olMaximized

End Sub

Sub Init()

Initialize_handler

End Sub

What do you think a Stop call would do? I'd assume it stops the code from

any further execution.

It halts the code a that poind and launches the debugger. Very useful in

developing event driven code and in debugging large amounts of code that you

do not want to have to watch. Unlike setting a breakpoint it suvives closing

the application and relaunching. Obviously doesn't work in a compiled

> .com/.exe file where it acts like an End statement.

Still not making any progress with the Application_Startup problem though.

Have you tried it without calling Stop?

Just tried it with both Stop's commented out. No change even commented out

the Private Sub Application_Startup() statement and reentered it. It just

refuses to fire when I launch Outlook. I have stepped through it and it works

so it's not an invisible charater in the code or some other such trifle.

If Application_Startup really is in ThisOutlookSession, that's weird. What

happens if you set macro security to the lowest level?

Thank you for your patience Michael.

Firstly I can assure you that the code is in ThisOutlookSession. the title

of the window is "Microsoft Visual Basic - VbaProject - [ThisOutlookSession

(Code)]".

So I just tried your suggestions viz:

1. set Macro security to run all macros then

2. removed the certificate.

After both steps I restarted Outlook to no avail. (The Stop remains

commented out.)

The only difference was that I was not prompted to safeve the VBA Project

when I closed Outlook

I have sent a support request to MS.

Many Thanks - Alan

Michael - I think I have accidentally found the cause and solved the problem.

I was trying to add a button to a toolbar to call a macro which would do the

initialisation but the button would not stick when closing and re-opening

Outlook, the button just kept dissapearing.

I did a search and found some references to solving this kind of problem by

renaming outcmd.dat which apparently can become corrupted. I did this and now

when I open outlook the Application_Startup sub fires! So no need for the

button or extra sub anymore. will keep the prompt though. Am waiting for MS

to call back - it'll be interesting to see what they suggest before I tell

them.

Something to file in the "If all else fails and you've read the manual, try

this" folder.

Thank you for your interest

Regards

Alan

On checking I found that the bad Outcmd.dat file had grown to a massive

233,550KB, the new one is only 3KB.

I got some further info from MS. Viz:

"Apparently when we write the outcmd.dat file and VBA is loaded, we check if

there are any Application level events, and if there are, then we set a bit

that tells us to load VBA on boot. So if the outcmd.dat file is not present

or if the bit is not set properly, VBA will not load on boot.

If you want your macro to always be loaded, you could also try to set the

value of the LoadBehavior key to 3. The key is located under

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\NameOfTheAdd-In

By default, the value is 9, but if you set it to 3, you will always load the

macro and overwrite the default security settings for the respective add-in.

See also http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/19dax6cz(VS.80).aspx"

I don't think I want to mess with the registry!
