Addin problem during load
"chris ampofo" <chris[ at ]knowledgewire.co.uk> 6/4/2006 12:31:46 PM
I have developed an addin in vb6. Sometimes the addin loads successfully
during startup, but most of the time it does not, and I have to exit outlook
and then go back in.

Can anyone help on how to create addins which loads similar to Mcafee Virus
addins for outlook.

I have looked at exchange client extensions but these require C++ .

Does anyone know of any workarounds.

Thanks,

Chris.

Does your addin end up in the disabled items? If so there is some unhandled
error and Outlook is disabling your addin.

Ken,

It is not added to the disabled items

Sue Moesher of Outlookcode.com has suggested I look into Micro Eye AddInMon
in an Outlook COM Add-in. This seems to be on the right track. For other
with similar problems please go to
http://www.microeye.com/resources/res_addinmon.htm to read more. I am
investigating now and will post update.

Thanks,

Chris.

Ken,

I have just noticed your contribution to the dev of AddinMon program.

I have just tried to implement it with no avail. The problem does not even
fire the onconnection method in order for the addinmon to load.

Yes, I was involved in the AddInMon development project, as well as its
replacement project.

Is your addin set to load on startup? LoadBehavior = 3. That or being
disabled is about the only reason an addin won't receive On_Connection.

What about ActiveSynch or some other synch software? Running any? What
version of Outlook, you don't mention that.

What version of Outlook is running on the machine where you run the addin?
What version on the computer where you compile the addin?
