I have a bit of code that works fine in VBA (e.g., Excel) but fails in VBScript. VBScript does not throw any errors and reports that the code completes with exit code 0, i.e., no problems. If you have Outlook installed then you can probably past the code as is into an Excel VBA and it'll run (although whoever has the someone#gmail.com account will be on your calendar.) What am I missing??
Thanks!
Sub main()
SendCalendarAppt "strSubject", "strBody", "strLocation", "someone#gmail.com", Now()
End Sub
Sub SendCalendarAppt(strSubject, strBody, strLocation, strAttendees, datDateTime)
Dim objOL 'As Outlook.Application
Dim objAppt 'As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Const olAppointmentItem = 1
Const olMeeting = 1
Const olNonMeeting = 0
Set objOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objAppt = objOL.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
objAppt.Subject = strSubject
objAppt.Start = datDateTime
objAppt.End = datDateTime + 1
objAppt.Location = strLocation
objAppt.RequiredAttendees = strAttendees
objAppt.MeetingStatus = olMeeting
objAppt.Send
Set objAppt = Nothing

We have switched over to office 365 / outlook.
we have a legacy application in VB6 the was working fine with the previous version of outlook. but now we are having issues with an automated email with in VB6, that sends daily reports. Can someone tell me what is the equivalent of the following code is and what reference i need to point to?`
Dim mstrEmailTo As String 'email to addresses
Dim mstrEmailCC As String 'email cc addresses
mstrEmailTo = Text1.Text
mstrEmailCC = "TestEmail"

You don't need to simulate a button click to show an address book. You need to use SelectNamesDialog object for that - see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/outlook.selectnamesdialog

I am using VB6 and crystal reports version is 8
what is wrong in this code? Can anyone find a solution for this
We want to upgrade our VB6 code to use Outlook 2010, but we're getting the following error:
Active x cannot create object
This is our current code:
Public Sub SendEmail()
Set emailOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application.12")
Set emailNameSpace = emailOutlookApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set emailFolder = emailNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set emailItem = emailOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set EmailRecipient = emailItem.Recipients
EmailRecipient.Add (EmailAddress)
EmailRecipient.Add (EmailAddress2)
emailItem.Importance = olImportanceHigh
emailItem.Subject = "My Subject"
emailItem.Body = "The Body"
'-----Send the Email-----'
emailItem.Save
emailItem.Send
'-----Clear out the memory space held by variables-----'
Set emailNameSpace = Nothing
Set emailFolder = Nothing
Set emailItem = Nothing
Set emailOutlookApp = Nothing
Exit Sub
I'm not sure if "Outlook.Application.12" is correct. But I can't find a definitive answer for this.
For Outlook 2010, this is definitly corect Outlook.Application.14.
But, I don't know what about office 2007.
I think it's Outlook.Application.12 and for lower versions it is simply "Outlook.Application".
Here's the code I switched to for 2010:
Private Sub EmailBlahbutton_Click()
Dim mOutlookApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim Intro As String

'Intro is the first line of the email
Intro = "BLAHBLAHBLHA"
'Set the To and Subject lines. Send the message.

.To = "blahblah#blah.com"
.Subject = "More BLAH here"
.HTMLBody = Intro & RangetoHTML(Selection)
.Send
End With
With Application
.EnableEvents = True
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = ActiveCell.Column
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = ActiveCell.Row
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set mOutlookApp = Nothing

Why do you explicitly specify the version? Why not simply
Set emailOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Try "Outlook.Application.14". Not sure if this is related though: 2007 to 2010 upgrade issue
I realize it's not the exact issue, but it may lead you down the right path.
DBF file is in C:\dbase\clip53\PRG\stkmenu\WPACK3\
DBF file is called WPACKS.CFG (deliberately not .DBF)
The VB6 code in an ActiveX EXE for opening the database and recordset:
Function OpenDatabase(sFile As Variant, Optional sProvider As Variant = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0") As Variant ' ADODB.Connection
Dim nErr As Long
Dim sErr As String
Dim oConnection As Object 'ADODB.Connection
Set oConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
On Error Resume Next
oConnection.open sProvider & ";Data Source=" & sFile
nErr = Err.Number
sErr = Err.Description
On Error GoTo 0
If nErr <> 0 Then
Err.Raise OPENDATABASE_E_NOTFOUND, , sErr
End If
Set OpenDatabase = oConnection
End Function
Function OpenRecordSet(ByRef oDb As Variant, sQuery As Variant, Optional bCmdText As Boolean = False) As Variant ''ADODB.Connection ADODB.Recordset
Const adOpenForwardOnly As Long = 0
Const adOpenStatic As Long = 3
Const adOpenDynamic As Long = 2
Const adOpenKeyset As Long = 1
Const adLockOptimistic As Long = 3
Const adCmdText As Long = 1
Dim oRecordSet As Object 'ADODB.Recordset
Set oRecordSet = CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
If bCmdText Then
oRecordSet.open sQuery, , , adCmdText
Else
oRecordSet.open sQuery, oDb, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
End If
Set OpenRecordSet = oRecordSet
End Function
The script accessing these methods looks a little like VBScript. It is VBScript, but executed by the aforementioned ActiveX EXE which uses MSScript control and has a whole pile of objects which it can make available to the script engine. A kind of VBScript-on-steroids approach.
uses database
uses system
dim db
dim rs
set db = database.opendatabase("C:\dbase\clip53\PRG\stkmenu\WPACK3\","Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Extended Properties=dBase III;User ID=Admin;Password=")
set rs = database.openrecordset(db, "SELECT * FROM WPACKS.CFG",true)
system.consolewriteline rs.recordcount
My problem is that I keep getting The connection cannot be used to perform this operation. It is either closed or invalid in this context. when it hits the oRecordSet.open sQuery, , , adCmdText (which I got from a Microsoft site.)
'Tis a tad irritating.
The connection string I use when I need to connect a DBF file is usually something like:
"Driver={Microsoft dBase Driver (*.dbf)};dbq=<filePath>"
It works fine for me.
try using the latest and greatest FoxPro driver.
I'm working on an Outlook add-in that requires the Office specific FileDialog to interoperate with a Sharepoint site; the common file dialog doesn't have the interoperability. I know that both Word and Excel have a get_fileDialog method under Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.Application, but Outlook doesn't seem to. How do I launch an Outlook FileDialog? Is it even possible?
Microsoft Common Dialog
If you have COMDLG32.OCX ("Common Dialog ActiveX Control") installed, then you can use this - it's explained here, with an example. (Scroll down just past the screenshot entitled "FIGURE 2: Don't try to select more than one file in Word! ").
It appears that Outlook's Application object does not offer FileDialog. But a simple workaround, if you are willing to have an Excel reference, is:
Dim fd As FileDialog
Set fd = Excel.Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
Dim folder As Variant
If fd.Show = -1 Then
For Each folder In fd.SelectedItems
Debug.Print "Folder:" & folder & "."
Next
End If
'Add a "Module". Then add the declarations like this to it.
