Outlook with Word as e-mail editor (Auto macros)

Hi,

When Outlook opens it automatically disables the AutoExec
sub from Word. (Witch builds a custom menu)

I've been trying to alter email.dot to call the AutoExec
with Application.Run but email.dot doesn't seam to be
loaded.

Is there any way to enable the AutoExec when Outlook
Starts-up?

I hope this can be achieved without code in the Outlook
project.?

The Office version is 2003 PRO

Regards,
Joost
 
I've never found a way to do this. It's a security issue as much as
anything. BTW, Normal.dot loads with WordMail.
 
Hi Susan,

Thank you for you're reply!
Well that's a bummer that there's no alternative.

I know Normal.dot starts with WordMail, but in earlier
versions of Outlook (if I recall well) there was the
possibility of using email.dot as you're default (in the
Options section) mail template. (that's why I came up
with this one)

Coding Normal.dot off course also doesn't help.
I have a solution for start-up, where first I start Word
(with a script and Application.Run for the Main Sub) and
after that Outlook. This works well if a user will not
close these programs..(but users will be users) ;-)

I was hoping on some kind of registry hack in witch I
could disable this feature. Of course safety is an
important item but MS should provide client workarounds
for such issues.(at least that's my humble opinion)

Again thank you for you're efforts.

Regards,
Joost
