Depending on where the code you want will run you use different languages: Outlook form - you can only use VBScript code embedded in the form. Outlook VBA code - only VBA. COM addin or standalone application - whatever you want to use, .NET languages or C++ or VB 6 or Delphi, or whatever. Start looking at www.outlookcode.com for lots of code samples and links to books on Outlook development. For a beginner I'd recommend Sue Mosher's Jumpstart book as the best. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "JP" <aspento_quitar_para_correo_[ at ]arrakis.es> wrote in message news:%23j%23zMJ1eHHA.1252[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...

Re: Starting Outlook Programing "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 4/11/2007 4:05:07 PM Outlook forms only use VBScript code, as I mentioned. If you write a COM addin you can use .NET but then you can't use a custom form, it would be a System.Windows.Form. It's up to you. As I also mentioned, go to www.outlookcode.com. There's lots of information on custom forms, COM addins, .NET and lots of other stuff. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "JP" <aspento_quitar_para_correo_[ at ]arrakis.es> wrote in message news:OFVMDjEfHHA.2332[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...
