I'm can't seem to figure out how to make a windows api cal from VBA inside
of outlook. For example if I put the following code into the onclick event
handler for a command button, I always get the error "Expected end of
statement Line No:1".

I'm using the forms script editor to enter this code;

Private Declare Function MessageBeep Lib "user32" Alias "MessageBeep" (ByVal
wType As Long) As Long

Sub CommandButton1_Click()

MsgBox "The active window is an explorer", vbInformation

End Sub

<<<

What am I don't wrong?

Thanks AB
 
You can't. Outlook forms use VBScript, which doesn't support function
declarations.

Maybe if you explained what you want to do behind the form, someone could
suggest another approach.

Hi Sue,

is it possible to call a public class modul in the VBA project from
within the form?
 
YOu can call a Public sub or function that resides in the ThisOutlookSession
module by using Application.myproc, but but it's an unsupported technique.

Ahh... that explains a lot. I thought I was using VBA, not that I know it's
VBScript at least I can be looking at the right docs.

I need to be able to be able to create, send and process the response to a
SOAP message from the form but I think I can see how to do that now.

Of course if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears.

Thanks for the help,
AB
