Can outlook design a e.g. tasks approval process by using VBA alon
I was instructed to work out a process flow for tasks approval flow with
functionallities on Outlook App. such as: user raise a request-- supervisor approved-- handler --handler return a deadline to user-- users agree with the deadline-- handler receive the agreement -- commence to process..etc. Can it be done by VBA coding or by Exchange server, since I don't have the priviledge to touch the server, all I can do is doing the VBA coding in user's machine, can I make it possible with VBA alone ?? |

It can be done with VBA code, but deploying VBA code to other machines is
not recommended as a deployment method. The best way to deploy code like that is to use an Outlook COM addin. An alternative would be to use a custom form for the workflow. Check out www.outlookcode.com, where you can find examples of routed forms that can be used for workflow and also examples and information on Outlook COM addins. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

Thanks for your advice for checking the web site you mentioned, but I still
can't get the whole picture from it. Could you suggest me any resources e.g. text books、web site、source code.., which focus on such workflow developing, so that I can learn comprehensively on how to create a workflow application over outlook without Exchange server involved. Thanks a lot. "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: It can be done with VBA code, but deploying VBA code to other machines is not recommended as a deployment method.

There are workflow examples for custom forms on the outlookcode Web site,
plus the best information on forms development. You can get Sue Mosher's most recent book that covers forms development but it doesn't concentrate on workflow. Her book is linked on the outlookcode Web site. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.
