How do I link a macro to a CommandButton in a custom form, want us
 

I am working on something similar Cybordelic and was wondering if you could
send me a link to the VBscript you got from microsoft.

Thanks,

section of the MS website, and it works just fine. The script asks the user
if they want to visit the conference booking site, and when they click on yes
it opens the appropriate page. I just can't seem to figure out how to map
the macro to a button, so that when a user clicks the button in the form they
are asked if they want to visit the site, when they click yes an IE browser
windows opens directly to our conference booking site. I am trying to do
this using a CommandButton that I have inserted into my form, which I got
from the controls toolbox.

I am new at this and perhaps I am be trying to do something that cannot be
done in Outlook 2000, but I am not sure. I seem to remember using a form
once that had a button built into it that opened a webpage.

Any advice is appreciated.

Please advise.

Thank-you,
Charles

Use the OnAction function when you have captured the specific
commandbarbutton that you want. the OnAction format is usually in the form
of a text statement eg

commandBarButton.OnAction = "!" + someMacroName + "";
