The example "How to Build an Office COM Addin by using Visual Basic .NET"
works in Word and Excel, but no events are triggered in Outlook (http://support.microsoft.com/default...-us%3bq302896). It is cut and pasted from the Step by Step Example in this article. Thanks. |

You're going to have to run in debug mode to see what's wrong. See if you
get OnConnection and if you are getting through the button initialization. FWIW, I think it's a bad idea to use an Outlook addin as a shared addin with Word, Excel, PPT, etc. I do shared addins for the other apps but always do separate Outlook addins. There are just too many oddities and bugs in Outlook's handling of things like OnDisconnection to make a fully shared addin viable, in my opinion. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "KenRoy" wrote in message ...

No, the OnConnection is not triggering.
I'm very new to Office Coding and found this shared addin example. I have an outside app that I'd like to send an email to someone for approval. I'd like them to be able to open the e-mail and click a button to run some code which would "approve" the request. Where would I find an example of a "non-shared" addin? Thanks!

Look at all the sample code at www.outlookcode.com. That may be the only
example of an Outlook addin shared with the other Office apps out there in the wild. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "KenRoy" wrote in message ...
