COM Add in won't load other than with IDE on WS2003/XP
Hi
I am trying to develop a COM Add-In for outlook 2003 in VB6 (SP6). My development machine is Windows 2003 server ( I normally develop web apps). I have followed the instructions and implemented IDTExtensibility2. I have put no code other than a msgbox in the OnConnection event. I can add the COM Add-In fine and it works - but only if I am running the ActiveX project in the VB IDE at the time. If i shut outlook and restart without the IDE running (have comiled and registered the DLL) then Outlook does not laod the Add-In giving the message in the Add-In dialog "Not Loaded. A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-In." The same DLL works OK on a Win2K server/Outlook 2000 machine, but not on XP/Outlook 2000 which makes me think it is a XP/2003 issue. I tried signing the DLL with a code signing cert issued by a trussted CA, but this makes no difference. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance. |

As you messed up the Outlook versions at the buttom of your message, is it possible that the Add-In runs fine with Outlook 2003 and doesn´t with Outlook 2000? -- Viele Gruesse / Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook -- www.vbOffice.net -- Hi I am trying to develop a COM Add-In for outlook 2003 in VB6 (SP6).

Hi Viele
Thanks for your reply. I wrote the Add-In on a Windows 2003/Outlook 2003 environment. It will only work on that platform running in the IDE. The other environments I have tested it on a 1. Windows 2000/Outlook 2000 - works 2. Windows XP/Outlook 2000 - doesn't work |
