Outlook 2007 Macro to Run a Script From a Contact Form

Status
Not open for further replies.
if you are just calling that macro alone, not anything else, you'll use

sub callmymacro()

Load ["Personal Forms Library"].Forms("Contact Form 1")
With Forms("Contact Form 1")

' this wouldn't be command button - it would be whatever the command is that holds the selection value
.[Command Button].Value = Selection
.CommandButton4_Click
End With
Forms("Contact Form 1").Unload

end sub

I've never called a macro in a form without actually using the form, so I'm not really sure how it works.
 
did it and the error is "external name not defined" and it colors the words ["Personal Forms Library"]
 
So I have the code in front of me...

Code: 
Load [LibraryName].Forms("Contact Form 1")
With Forms("Contact Form 1")
.[Required Input Control Name].Value = Selection
.CommandButton1_Click
End With
Forms("Contact Form 1").Unload

your error says the form name is wrong. But I don't know what the library name should be, if personal forms library doesn't work.
 
Is there a pathway to the form?....as in past, as to email templates, we identified them from the pathway to the templates
 
No, not that I know of. If you are creating a new item, you can call it by name - "ipm.contact.contact form 1" - you don't need a path to it.
 
not a new item....thought there might be another way to identify it to load it....any other way perhaps?
 
No, sorry, I don't. I can't find any thing in Google that references using the forms library either.
 
To follow up one more time, below is the script in the contact form that creates a calendar event for the contact I open. And if it just makes sense to create a new macro based the script I gave you, then when I run the macro after selecting a contact but not opening it, it creates the calendar event based the fields in the Contact.

 
The script is too long to post, so ihave emailed it to you
 
I would put this type of macro in Outlook VBA editor.
 
I did it and the error is "object required" and the following line is colored yellow..
ContactName = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("General").Controls("Fullname").value
 
That error says it can't find the fullname control - the code is looking for the control on the open contact form. Is the contact form open?
 
What form are you referring to please? I want this to run against a contact I select but not open
 
The form is this form: Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("General").Con trols("Fullname").value

the line needs to be after you set item, not first in the macro. You also need to dim item as the inspector.

If that is the standard fullname control, you can use the standard methods -

Set objcontact = session.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem

contactname = objcontact.FullName
 
Thanks much. As I repeat offen, I don't understand all areas and earlier you emailed me the full code with your fixes. Can you possible do that, I wiil select the contact and run the macro and see if it sets the contact calender event. Thanks very very much!!
 
It's Thursday - deadline day. As soon as I get that done, I'll take a look.
 
Thank you very much. Look forward to get this done.
