Combo Box

hi....just in case.....look into yet....would love to fix it soon!!
 
The only way i see to fix it is to open the contact from the contacts folder. The inspector isn't called "correctly" when you open it from contact linking.

I suppose you could use a macro that searches for the linked contact and opens it, but i don't have a code sample that does it and have a project deadline coming up, so no time to work on it. I'm not even 100% sure it would work. I do know you can open two copies of a contact when one is opened from the contact linking field or a shortcut/embedded object.
 
what does this mean please:

open two copies of a contact when one is opened from the contact linking field or a shortcut/embedded object
 
hi...got a second to answer the question above?
 
Sorry, I didn't see it yesterday.

Normally, you can't open a contact twice. If you have a contact open and go back into the contacts folder and double click on it, you'll bring the opened contact into focus.

When you open a contact from the Contact linking field or a shortcut, Outlook can't "see" it's open - if you go into Contacts folder and double click, it will open the contact again.
 
thanks...but that doesn't help what I am trying to do re the macros regarding the combo box structure you showed me how to do ....

just so you know, when I open the contact from the shortcut, the macros we first created that each one is an email template that recognizes the email address of the contact, these work...

so the macros re the combo box you showed me how to do, is the macros that do not work from the contact opening up from the shortcut.

Any last thoughts on this?
 
So the Userform doesn't work but the individual macros do? That goes back to the problem my friend described where the macros aren't fully supported.
 
Yes. I don't know the structure. The individual macros work but the userform and related module don't work when the contact is opened from the shortcut to it in the calendar event



I would think it could be fixed.
 
Try changing the Private in the userform sub's to Public.
 
Here is the useform example....Which word Private should be changed please?

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()

End Sub

Private Sub ComboBox8_Change()

End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

With ComboBox8
.AddItem "Today-Meeting_Thank-You_Friend"
.AddItem "Recent-Meeting_Thank-You_Friend"
.AddItem "Recent-Meeting_Thank-You_Network_Contact"
.AddItem "Today_Meeting_Thank-You_Network_Contact"
.AddItem "Today-Meeting_Thank-You_Friend_Genesis_VII"
.AddItem "Recent-Meeting_Thank-You_Friend_Genesis_VII"
End With
End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton5_Click()
lstNum2 = ComboBox8.ListIndex
Unload Me
End Sub
 
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

and

Private Sub CommandButton5_Click()

the other two aren't being used. I don't know if it will fix the problem though.
 
It did not fix the problem......any other ideas?
 
No, sorry, I'm out of ideas.
 
so where else can I ask the question as the microsoft forum does not respond and the phone call to microsoft does not solve it....

ps...i do believe you can figure it out as you are the best!!
 
It's not a question of figuring t out - its a question of whether it is blocked. Better programmers than I said its not possible.
 
I appreciate your time as usual. My guess is there is a way to fix it. Are there any other forums or people I should contact and see what they say?
 
thank you....i posted there before and basically no one has answered.....any other thoughts?
 
No, sorry. The guys who answer there are the ones who told me that macros don't work well with linked items.
 
a couple of responses tell me to put a breakline on the first line and see what happens...

can you possible tell me in detail how I add a breakline to the first line please?
