Run vb6 form in outlook !

You can create an outlook macro that runs another executable if this would work for you?


For example: create macro:

Sub MyMacro()
Shell("MyApplication.exe")
End Sub




Does that help?

ok, mm , but how do I create a button in outlook ?

When you say a button, are you talking about the "toolbar" buttons? Or are you talking about a seperate form?


Brian

Hi  again !

I can use tool bar button, and when clicking that button the form should open in the main window of outlook !

Take a look at this article, it should help you:

...but this wont open the link in the main of outlook !

I've found something here :
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21512510/Create-and-deploy-a-toolbar-to-launch-custom-forms.html?qid=21512510

the onlything I can't figure out is how to make it open in the main of outlook :-(

Hi MRSONNY,

You cannot open an external program in an Outlook window.  You can only open Outlook objects.  Perhaps if you explained a bit more about what you're trying to do we could offer an alternative.

Cheers!

Hi !

I wanted to make a vb6 app. and then let the form start up inside outlooks main window, just like when you click the inbox and the mail will show inside the main window(on the right). I know that you could have the window open a url, so a solution for opening a url inside the main window would probably do the same trick, I then would make a activeX instead
