Here's the commands I used to open Outlook via OLE.
It took 4 OLE Actions in an Active Link.
If memory serves there was a problem with opening Outlook via OLE in a
6.3 Patch 18 client, but it seemed ok in the ARS 7 client (User Tool).
Action 1: OLE Automation
In the Left hand Pane for Automation Servers: Pick Microsoft
Office Outlook
In the Right hand Pane for Type Library Information: Pick
the following:
A) Objects-->_Application Object-->Methods-->Double left
click on _Application* Application( )
B) Scroll down in that same "directory" and double left
click on IDispatch* CreateItem(OIItemType ItemType)
C) Go to the Parameter List and expand the Create Item list
all the way to the ? (this is where you add the Parameter value) and
left click in the blank space (it's a little tricky) and place a 0 in
there.
D) Objects-->_Inspector Object-->Methods-->void Display
Save the Action
Action 2: OLE Automation
A) Objects-->_Application Object-->Methods-->Double left click on
_Application* Application( )
B) Scroll down in that same "directory" and double left click on
_Inspector* ActiveInspector( )
C) Objects-->_Inspector Object-->Methods-->IDispatch* CurrentItem(
)
D) Objects--> _MailItem Object-->Methods-->void To( BSTR rhs )
E) In the To: value place the field that contains the list of
people to send to
Save the Action
Action 3: OLE Automation
A) Objects-->_Application Object-->Methods-->Double left click on
_Application* Application( )
B) Scroll down in that same "directory" and double left click on
_Inspector* ActiveInspector( )
C) Objects-->_Inspector Object-->Methods-->IDispatch* CurrentItem(
)
D) Objects--> _MailItem Object-->Methods-->void Body( BSTR rhs )
E) In the Parameters passed via the Body, pass the text you want to
Save the Action
Action 4: OLE Automation
A) Objects-->_Application Object-->Methods-->Double left click on
_Application* Application( )
B) Scroll down in that same "directory" and double left click on
_Inspector* ActiveInspector( )
C) Objects-->_Inspector Object-->Methods-->IDispatch* CurrentItem(
)
D) Objects--> _MailItem Object-->Methods-->void Subject( BSTR rhs )
E) In ths parameters passed in the subject, again add what you want
Save the Action
Save the Active Link.
All I can suggest is you take about a week and mess around with it and
find the different things.
Good Luck
Matt
