hi there,

i have a 3rd COM add-in for outlook which i need to access which i can access at the moment but it give me access to this "DocumentsButton() As Office.CommandBarButton" which when i call it like this 

        MsgBox(oCM.Control.DocumentsButton.Visible)
        MsgBox(oCM.Control.DocumentsButton.Enabled)



        oCM.Control.DocumentsButton.Visible = True
        oCM.Control.DocumentsButton.Enabled = True


it works fine but when i do the execute it does nothing

oCM.Control.DocumentsButton.Execute()


i try it with out any ADD-in Express and it works fink but when i do it with a project with add-in express it doesn't work.

Why is this and how do i fix it?

the COM add-in is for outlook 2003 and is called outlookcrm????

thanks in adv

jonathan

Hi Jonathan.

Check the OnAction property of the button. If it is empty then you will not get anything.

Jonathan, what do you mean "a project without ADX"? Did you develop another add-in using the standard Microsoft wizard in Visual Studio?
