I created a command button on my custom form and when its clicked I want the following code to run. here is my code, but nothing happens when I click on the button. I know my code works when I run it mannually.

Thanks

Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim item As MailItem

' Set item = Outlook.Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection.item(1)

Set item = Outlook.Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem

Dim olApp As Outlook.Application

Dim olTsk As TaskItem

Dim userField As Outlook.UserProperty

Set olApp = New Outlook.Application

Set olTsk = olApp.CreateItem(olTaskItem)

With olTsk

> Subject = item.Subject

> Status = olTaskNotStarted

> Body = item.Body

Set ups = item.UserProperties

Set prp = ups.Find("DateDue")

> DueDate = ups("DateDue").Value

> Save

End With

Set olTsk = Nothing

Set olApp = Nothing

End Sub.

It looks to me like you are trying to run VBA code in the form, when

the form will only run VBScript. In the versions I used, "Dim AS" did

not work.

This looks like VBA code, not VBScript behind a custom Outlook form. Please


clarify.


Note that code runs only on published Outlook custom forms.

Re: RE: Command Button Controls

I guess I was using VBA, I have never programmed in Outlook always access and excel. I wrote the code and can call the macro from the Developer Tab (Marcos). I tried pasteing the code where it allows you to under the form code (View Code). I rewrote my code, it still works calling it like a marco but I can't get it to assign to my button. Help!

Public Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Set ins = Application.ActiveInspector

Set itm = ins.CurrentItem

If itm.Class <> olMail Then

MsgBox "The active Inspector is not a mail message; exiting"

' GoTo ErrorHandlerExit

'Could add more error-trapping to determine if the mail message uses a

'specific custom form, or has specific data in one or more fields

Else

Set msg = itm

' Set item = Outlook.Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection.item(1)

'Set item = Outlook.Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem

Set olApp = New Outlook.Application

Set olTsk = olApp.CreateItem(olTaskItem)

With olTsk

> Subject = msg.Subject

> Status = olTaskNotStarted

> Body = msg.Body

Set ups = msg.UserProperties

Set prp = ups.Find("DateDue")

If TypeName(prp) <> "Nothing" Then

If prp.Value <> #1/1/4501# Then

> DueDate = ups("DateDue").Value

End If

End If

> Save

End With

Set olTsk = Nothing

Set olApp = Nothing

End If

End Sub.
 
Re: RE: Command Button Controls

Ok, so here is my code now, Doesn't give me an error but it doesn't run.

Public Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Set ins = Outlook.Inspector

Set itm = Object

Set ups = Outlook.UserProperties

Set prp = Outlook.UserProperty

Set msg = Outlook.MailItem

Set olApp = Outlook.Application

Set olTsk = TaskItem

Set userField = Outlook.UserProperty

Set ins = Application.ActiveInspector

Set itm = ins.CurrentItem

If itm.Class <> olMail Then

MsgBox "The active Inspector is not a mail message; exiting"

Else

Set msg = itm

Set olApp = New Outlook.Application

Set olTsk = olApp.CreateItem(olTaskItem)

With olTsk

> Subject = msg.Subject

> Status = olTaskNotStarted

> Body = msg.Body

Set ups = msg.UserProperties

Set prp = ups.Find("DateDue")

If TypeName(prp) <> "Nothing" Then

If prp.Value <> #1/1/4501# Then

> DueDate = ups("DateDue").Value

End If

End If

> Save

End With

Set olTsk = Nothing

Set olApp = Nothing

End If

End Sub

The best source for Outlook coding is http://www.outlookcode.com . You

will find example code for things you may want to do, but certainly

examples of how to style the code.

For instance, Item is an intrinsic variable, and always means the current

Item. I seem to recall that Application is also an intrinsic item, and

you use it as the basis for building objects. But, it has been a while

since I did any coding, so I am not going to provide specific coding

suggestions. Go look at the examples.

Re: RE: Command Button Controls

Is the button named CommandButton1?

Is the form published with the "Send form definition with item" box on the

(Properties) page unchecked?

None of these expressions will work -- Outlook.UserProperties,

Outlook.Inspector , etc. -- because there is no intrinsic object named

Outlook. As Hollis pointed out, in VBScript code behind a custom form, you

have two intrinsic objects: Application for the currently running

Outlook.Application instance (hence you never would use New

Outlook.Application) and Item to represent the item where the code is

running.

I can't offer much more than that, because I can't tell from the code just

what you're trying to accomplish.
