View 1 RepliesI have been working on an application that has a built in contact database.I would like to be able to syncronize this with Outlook.
Specifically:
1)Bring Contacts in Custom App over to Outlook
2)Keep info on those contacts syncronized in Outlook and Custom App
3)Ignore contacts that are in Outlook but not in Custom App(ie do NOT bring them into custom App)
I work for a somewhat large company.There are about 160 Windows XP Pro users. We are still using Microsoft Office 2000 for the most part.We have upgraded some users to Office 2003. We are not using Microsoft Exchange.I have to export every users' Outlook 2000 or Outlook 2003 Contacts into an Excel or CSV file every 6 months as a way of backing the Outlook Address Contacts.Currently I am doing this by physically going to every pc and manually exporting the contacts.This is a large pain.I am trying to find out if I can use or create a Visual Basic 2008 Express program or script that will export the contacts from Outlook and save it as an Excel or CSV file.The name of the file should be the same as the computers net name.It should be saved in the same location, on the network, each time.I am new to programming and new to VB 2008 Express.I do not know or have any code to start with.
View 8 RepliesI have a VB.NET windows application in which I'm using Outlook's contacts as my address book to get a list of email addresses. I'd like it to use Outlook as the address book, but if an Outlook mailbox has not been set up or there are no contacts then I don't want Outlook to come up at all. The problem that I'm having is as soon as I try to access Outlook the Outlook Startup Wizard comes up, which I don't want to happen. Here is my code:
Dim ao As Outlook.Application
Dim ons As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim Contacts As Outlook.Items

I'm trying to completely empty outlook's contact folder so i can synchronize it with my DB.there is always at least 1 contact left in the folder!?! [code]

View 9 RepliesI created a vb.net application that reads a data file (SQL table) and creates contacts and groups from this data. If I run this application and point the Contact folder to my local Outlook folders, the application runs fine. It creates about 550 contact and 10 groups. My problem is when I go to run the application against a public folder that am the "owner" of with full permissions it will run fine until it hits items 250 and then I get a COM error.

How can I access (read, write, create, delete) user-defined fields for single contacts in Outlook directly via the Exchange Web Service? I need to create/name a field and set a value (it should be viewable in the Outlook contact > "All Fields")I've found some code to set extended properties - it worked, so I could set and also read some values. >> but its not listed in "All Fields" of an contact.I'm using Exchange 2007 and Outlook 2007 - but it should also work with other Versions (Exchange 2003, 2007 and Outlook 2003)

I have founf Linked tables does the same automatically. But then if the appliaction runs on the other system then will that linked table work?As the linked tables is synchronised for my outlook. Is there any way to make this generalised, so that linked table concept can be used?
I have made a little programme where the user can put in a name to search for a contact.The matches then fill a Datagrid and the user can then choose the one they want and the programm then opens the contact form (from outlook client)The Contact form opens ok, and it brings up the correct contact. If the user then selects the option to "Email" from that from I then get the error message"A Dialog is open" etc...
My code is as follows
Sub GetContact()
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
[code]....
It seems to be due to Outlook being open or opening?
I have some code that locates all the contact folders that a user has access to by iterating through the Application.Session.Stores collection.This works for the user's contacts and also all the public contacts folders. It also finds all the contacts folders in additional mailbox accounts that the user has added via the Tools -> Account Settings... menu command.
However, this requires the user to have full access to the other person's account. When a user only has access to another person's contacts, then that person's contacts show up under the "People's Contacts" group in the Contacts view. How do I find those contact folders that don't show up under Session.Stores?
In order to see the other user's contacts folder without adding access to their full mailbox, click File -> Open -> Other User's Folder... from the Outlook menu. In the dialog box, enter the other user's name and select Contacts from the Folder type drop down list.
Here's the code (minus the error checking and logging) I'm using to find a list of all the user's Outlook contact folders. I know this can (and maybe should) be done using early binding to the Outlook.Application type, but that doesn't affect the results. EnumerateFolders is recursive so that it searches all sub folders.
Dim folderList = New Dictionary(Of String, String)
Dim outlookApp = CreateObject(Class:="Outlook.Application")
For Each store As Object In outlookApp.Session.Stores
EnumerateFolders(folderList, store.GetRootFolder)
Next

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to copy cells from Excel to a new mail message in Outlook. Excel and Outlook both open fine but it doesn't copy.
Im using the following code:
Dim content = xlWorkSheet.Range("A1:C21").Copy()
Dim oApp As Outlook._Application
oApp = New Outlook.Application()
[Code]....
This does not copy the cells. It simply displays an email with a body that says "true".
I am using the excel sheet to do other things which work fine, so the excel code works. Just having trouble copying the cells.

View 1 RepliesI'd like to create a macro in Outlook but I have to admit I don't really know VB...Many times the day, I have to send an email and paste the contain with timestamp in a log file.The steps are:
send the email go to the "sent items" folder select the last mail sent click forward edit it from the beginning of the timestamp to the end copy close the closeThe simplest way for me to do it would be to have "send and copy" button beside the "send" button which would do it automatically.I am sorry to ask the whole code but I don't even know how to select the "sent folder".
I am currently using Outlook 2007 and Excel 2002 SP3 and VBA for OfficeUsing VBA, I want to copy a range from Excel, open a new email in Outlook and then past the range into the body of the email (rather than as an attachment) as a Bitmap (so that the report on the email looks exactly the same a the range that is copied from).I can do most of the above but putting the bitmap into the body of the email is neigh on impossible..I can get VBA to paste the range into an email but then it loses most of its fomatting and looks horrible. Thats why I'd rather put the bitmap into the body of the email.I'm guessing that there is no easy solution to this..
View 1 RepliesI am actually using Powerbuilder, but can convert easily from VB.net.
We would like users to be able to copy outlook message files to the clipboard (ctrl-V) and paste as a file into a
powerbuilder application. We have dragdrop working really well, but we have many users working through multiple citrix sessions where only copy - paste works.
Windows explorer gives a perfect example of being able to paste the message just as I would like. But what does it use under the bonnet to do this?[cod]e....
however, I wanted to copy that as html so if someone opens outlook, word, excel etc.... I want to be able to paste into these programs and keep the format.for example, if you are in excel and highlight a range, copy it to clipboard. when you paste into outlook it keeps the cells etc...mine just pastes the raw html into the body The only way this pastes correctly into excel is if i copy a "csv" formatted string. but that dosen't keep colors, alignmnet etc...

View 1 RepliesI have written a code in VB.NET using "Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library" to create an appointment, task or contact in Outlook. Now the problem is once i create an appointment, task or contact from my VB.NET code and then if i open these item in outlook and modifies and save the content (like body of an appointment) then the lastmodification time of these item doesn't gets modified. It always shows the previous lastmodification time. This happens only for those item which got created from my VB.NET code.

I get an error. It's work fine, when outlook is not running.
I'm working on an application that takes certain outlook email messages, saved as text files, and loads data from them into a database. It would be better if I could read the messages from the inbox directly into my app without the user having to save them as text files. I've searched the web and every example I find is from 2003 or earlier and is using VB6. I'd like to read both Outlook and Outlook Express Inboxes. Can someone either provide me with the code to do this or a good "recent" link with a tutorial?
