I wrote an VBA:
Sub ToChange()
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNachrich As MailItem
Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
Set objNachrich = olApp.CreateItem(0)
Set Mail = objNachrich
Mail.SentOnBehalfOfName = "Info"
Mail.Display
End Sub
It changes the "from"-attribute to "Info" and works fine if I start it.
But, I want to run it automaticly if I open a window to write a new e-mail. Is there a posibility?
Well,
you can add a new button on the menu-bar ;)
If I'm understanding it properly, you can just call this procedure on the Load event of a form.

I need to enter around 3 pieces of data into a website I don't own, press submit, and scrape a few pieces of data. I need to repeat this using different dates around 50 times. I've done this before for stuff I've reused a lot with Powershell. However, I was wondering if there was something simple like point and click I could use as if I spend hours on this I could have just as easily typed in the data and copied the results into a spreadsheet.
Any browser will do.
You can try to use IE automation using VBA to scrape the data from IE and paste it in to Excel Workbook.
Example:
Sub Automate_IE_Load_Page()
'This will load a webpage in IE
Dim i As Long
Dim URL As String
Dim IE As Object
Dim objElement As Object
Dim objCollection As Object
'Create InternetExplorer Object
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
'Set IE.Visible = True to make IE visible, or False for IE to run in the background
IE.Visible = True
'Define URL
URL = "https://www.example.com"
'Navigate to URL
IE.Navigate URL
' Statusbar let's user know website is loading
Application.StatusBar = URL & " is loading. Please wait..."
' Wait while IE loading...
'IE ReadyState = 4 signifies the webpage has loaded (the first loop is set to avoid inadvertently skipping over the second loop)
Do While IE.ReadyState = 4: DoEvents: Loop 'Do While
Do Until IE.ReadyState = 4: DoEvents: Loop 'Do Until
'Webpage Loaded
Application.StatusBar = URL & " Loaded"
'Unload IE
Set IE = Nothing
Set objElement = Nothing
Set objCollection = Nothing
End Sub

Further, You can try to modify the code based on your requirement.
I am trying to create an appointment/meeting notice template that prevents forwarding, defaults to no response required and is sent from a delegated/shared calendar. I have the script to change the response required and can disable the forwarding option in the actions, but I can't figure out the delegate. I've found the getname script:
Sub ResolveName()
Dim myNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim myRecipient As Outlook.Recipient
Dim CalendarFolder As Outlook.Folder
Set myNamespace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myRecipient = myNamespace.CreateRecipient("Larry M Garrett")
myRecipient.Resolve
If myRecipient.Resolved Then
Call ShowCalendar(myNamespace, myRecipient)
End If
End Sub
Sub ShowCalendar(myNamespace, myRecipient)
Dim CalendarFolder As Outlook.Folder
Set CalendarFolder = _
myNamespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder _
(myRecipient, olFolderCalendar)
CalendarFolder.Display
End Sub
This works in visual basic, but it only opens the shared calendar. It doesn't set the appointment to come from the shared calendar. I get a code error if i put it into the "view code" section and try to run the form. I feel like i'm missing the step where i tell it to send from the delegated calendar but i can't find it. Thanks.
It looks like you need to use the shared calendar folder to create an appointment item. Use the sharedCalendarFolder.Items.Add method to create an appointment.
I have code to parse emails and add "tel:" links to phone numbers, but the modified email body doesn't get shown in the Outlook Reading Pane until the user manually reloads it (view another email, come back to this one).
I've tried a few hacks like Inspector.Display, and ActiveExplorer.ClearSelection ActiveExplorer.AddToSelection, but I can't get consistent results (Display will open new Inspectors for some users, very undesirable).
I was also going to investigate hooking the event sooner. Somehow accessing the email body before Outlook renders it, to avoid the need to refresh. I'm very new to VSTO, so I don't know what event would have access to the MailItem but happen after a user selects it and before it is rendered. I have thought about only processing new mail, but that doesn't help when I roll out this addin, only going forward.
Here is my current ItemLoad sub:
Private Sub Application_ItemLoad(Item As Object)
Dim myObj As Outlook.MailItem
Dim ob As Object
ob = GetCurrentItem()
If TypeOf ob Is Outlook.MailItem Then
myObj = ob
Dim oldbody As String = myObj.Body
If myObj.HTMLBody.Length > 0 Then
myObj.HTMLBody = RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(myObj.HTMLBody, "(?<!tel:)(?<![2-9\.])(?<!\>\ )[+]?(1-)?(1)?[\(]?(?<p1>\d{3})[\)]?[\.\- ]?(?<p2>\d{3})[\.\- ]?(?<p3>\d{4})(?=[^\d])", " ${p1}-${p2}-${p3}")
Else
myObj.Body = RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(myObj.Body, "(?<!tel:)(?<![2-9\.])[+]?(1-)?(1)?[\(]?(?<p1>\d{3})[\)]?[\.\- ]?(?<p2>\d{3})[\.\- ]?(?<p3>\d{4})(?=[^\d])", "tel:${p1}.${p2}.${p3}")
End If
myObj.Save()
refreshCurrentMessage()
End If
End Sub
GetCurrentItem() just returns either objApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1) or objApp.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem based on TypeName(objApp.ActiveWindow)
Outlook doesn't reflect changes made through the OOM immediately. You need to switch to another folder/email to get the item refreshed because there is no way to update the item on the fly.
You can use the CurrentFolder property of the Explorer class which allows to set a Folder object that represents the current folder displayed in the explorer. Thus, the view will be switched to another folder. Then you can set the CurrentFolder folder to initial folder.
Also I'd suggest releasing all underlying COM objects instantly. Use System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject to release an Outlook object when you have finished using it. Then set a variable to Nothing in Visual Basic (null in C#) to release the reference to the object.
I am working and excel addin and I am under the need to open a new window of the same workbook to enter data in a different worksheet. For the new window, I will need to know when the window is being closed so I can do some validations on the data entered. Is there a way to know when a Workbook window is being closed?
Thanks.
Take a look at this document:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/213566
Create a Module and a Class Module. Code is below.
Class Module code:
Public WithEvents appevent As Application
Dim windowsCount As Integer
Private Sub appevent_WindowActivate(ByVal Wb As Workbook, ByVal Wn As Window)
If windowsCount <> Application.Windows.Count Then
MsgBox "You closed a window"
End If
End Sub
Private Sub appevent_WindowDeactivate(ByVal Wb As Workbook, ByVal Wn As Window)
windowsCount = Application.Windows.Count
End Sub
Module Code:
Dim myobject As New Class1
Sub Test()
Set myobject.appevent = Application
End Sub
And this handler for the workbook:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Test
End Sub
You can handle the BeforeClose event. An example using VBA is available here.
Is there a way to add an attachment to an email you're sending out without the attachment being on the filesystem? From reading over the DOM (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb175153%28office.12%29.aspx) it says that the attachment source can be either a file path or "an Outlook item that constitutes the attachment". I don't use VBA of the office DOMs all that much and I'm not sure what this is. In addition, all the examples I can find are only giving usage examples by using the filesystem path.
I'm calling this from Word for documents that create themselves by filling out some form fields, then print themselves. I'd like them to go out via E-mail as well, but have no need for a permanent copy of the created file. I do realize that I could save them off to a temp directory, attach the saved file, then delete the file once the mail object is sent. It seems a waste to do this though.
Is there an way I can have Word pass the in-memory Document object off to Outlook to attach to the email?
The answer is no, you cannot attach an in-memory document to an outlook mailitem without saving it to disk first.
Oesor,
I made an assumption that email should get sent automatically, so SendMail method is out.
I tried a couple of things to see whether it would work. In both cases code would be embedded in your Word file.
In pre-2007 Word you could use RoutingSlip functionality:
ActiveDocument.HasRoutingSlip = True 'Creates RoutingSlip
With ActiveDocument.RoutingSlip
.Subject = "email Subject"
.AddRecipient = "recipient#domain.com"
.Delivery = wdAllAtOnce
End With
ActiveDocument.Route
Apparently, this code doesn't work in Word 2007. So instead you can use SendForReview functionality:
ActiveDocument.SendForReview "recipient#domain.com", "email subject", False, True
Email gets sent right away (w/o the popup Outlook window), but a couple of caveats exist: the document has to have a corresponding file - it won't work for a new document that has never been saved, and the first time the recipient opens the attached document from e-mail there may be a popup message about starting the review process.
I hope this helps,
Max.
This should work for you, if the relevant attachment source is an inline item, such as an embedded image. I have not tried it with attached files that are not inline but it may work there too. The basic ideas are:
1) Treat the content of the Emails as a Word document because the native Editor for Outlook is Word.
2) Use Word's Copy and Paste to carry everything around with you via the Clipboard because it is a well tested approach. In the example, I have pasted the new section in at the start in a new Paragraph but you could obviously place it anywhere you want.
The strange thing is, though, (see the Debug.Print) that the Attachments Count in the To document does not change, even though the inline images are all where they should be and can be seen and Sent. Have Outlook fun! (The .olm files in the example are simply Outlook.MailItems that have been saved as Template files. They could just as easily be MailItems from an Outlook folder.)
