I am attempting to access my public propreties and methods from Outlook forms and having no success. I have done the following.

Converted my project to use the loader from the shim (ADX version 3.3.1867.2005).
Create a reference to the addin as "Set PPcore = Application.COMAddIns.Item("PPCore.AddinModule")"

Attempt to access the properties directly with:
ppcore.CalledFrom = "Value", where CalledFrom is a public writeonly property in ppcore.
and tried to access it via the setproperty call
ppcore.setproperty "CalledFrom","Value"

Both fail with a Object does not support this property or method.

Hi Jack.

When you use adxloader, you get an instance of the proxy object in the Object property of the COMAddin interface. So, please use proxy methods to communicate with the addinmodule from the Visual Basic module.
You can download an example here:

Sergey,

The link (http://www.add-in-express.com/projects/vbaexample-cs.dll) takes me to the site map ( I assume your 404 page). Could you re-post the url?

Thanks,

Jack
