is there a way in vb.net to open microsoft outlook without knowing the file path exactly? different versions of outlook use different file locations, then you have to worry about the program files and program files(x86). is there a way to just launch outlook using the system.diagnostics.process.start("..") without the file path?
i dont want to have to test folders:

I 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 know that here there is a similar question but I would like, if possible, to be able to define a relative path for 'Start External Program' or any workaround that do not constrain me to add a complete new empty project to my solution. I am using VB.NET in Visual Studio 2010 environment developing WinForms apps.
View 4 RepliesI 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 been searching for a way to retrieve the full path for Outlook.exe and have managed to do it like this: Public Function GetOutlookPath() As String
Return My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionApp PathsOUTLOOK.EXE", "Path", Nothing)
End Function
On my current computer (Windows 7 64bit) it works just fine. On our Windows Server (also 64bit) it only works when it is building to "any CPU". When I change it to x86 it will return nothing
Our application needs to be run built as x86 on our 64bit computers to work correctly
Does anybody have any idea on how to solve this problem?
I have a Access program and I'm using VBA code in the background to run Winunzip using shell command. Well, the path of the .zip file has spaces in it and it's not recongizing the path as a valid path. Is there a another way to tackle this problem besides the shell?I can't us pkzip either. Has you can see I had to use progra~1 instead of Program Files.[code]

We are working on an asp.net 2.0 web app that emails users an ical to save to their outlook 2003 calendar. We noticed none of the code to update or delete an item seem to work even though the ical 2.0 spec supports it. We are curious if Outlook 2003 just ignores this?Does Outlook 2007 act differently?We have situations where an event may change or be cancelled which fires off an email notification but the updated ical just adds a new event, it nevers deletes and or moves the original.

I'm working on a Personal Assistant program that acts as a electronic scrapbook/excercise book/encyclopedia/diary for my college studies. This is programmed in Visual Basic 2010 This program has a form where it connects to a server to check for updates, sometimes the URL can change giving the program an error, crashing it. In the preferences menu, I want to see people able to manually find the web page for the download by using the 'WebBrowser' tool, but when someone is on say [url] and they clicked Set URL... the button. How would I make a label have the same text as the current viewing URL address?
Also somehow similar, if people are to lose/move the text file that contains the version number, this throws Visual Basic off. I want users able to click browse and find the location of this text file if they still have it and set the address for example ("C:UsersJoshDocumentsversion.txt) to tell Visual Basic that's the new location. How would this be achieved? New problem: I let my users use a month calander to add upcoming events/ home work, this is to make the program notify them about certain events when they open the program again. Now what I need to do is have the label when a button is clicked, hold the value of the picked day, one that holds the value of the month, one that holds the value of the current date and so forth. How would I do this?
I am trying to read and display a file using MapPath as follows :

Response.WriteFile(FilePath)
Response.End()
This procedure will work fine and display in the browser. However, if I save the file to C:Document123.pdf, how can I access this file using relative path in MapPath function. Is there an option to access the file which is saved out of IIS server? I am using vb.net 2003.
I'm using acrobat that returns unix paths instead of windows path's. So im wondering if there is a way in vb.net to convert the path to windows path.
i tried using:
docs(i) = javaScriptObj.path().ToString.Replace("/", "").Substring(1)
position = docs(i).IndexOf("")
docs(i) = docs(i).Substring(0, position) + ":" + docs(i).Substring(position + 1)
this only works on local files, but fails when im starting to use network drives.
I need to be able to allow the user to type in a file name and folder location into a textbox then when you run the program (that the client makes) it will create a program in that location. The problem is that when it runs it says that access to the folder is denied. I Think it is because it is that there is a file with the same name as the folder. The input as of now i have it as "C:\Another Folder\Filename.exe" but when I do this it creates two folders (Another folder and Filename.exe)... I thought that you could do it using substrings and last index of but either i wasn't doing it correctly or it doesn't work. I want to be able to do this from one textbox.
dim rootname as string = textbox1
dim exename as string
dim location as string
dim thepath as string

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?
