Close method returning 80040108 "Michael Tissington" <mtissington[ at ]newsgroup.nospam> 2/13/2007 8:11:03 AM I'm using C++ and Outlook 2007. In my Addin I'm calling the Close method with olDiscard on a Contact Item. I can get various properties on the item but when I try to do a Close I get back an error 0x80040108 which I think is invalid Object. This works in previous versions of Outlook. Any ideas please ?

Outlook 2007 and the latest hot fix for Outlook 2003 change the old behavior to return an error if you try to close an Inspector or item in the item.Close or Inspector.Close event handlers. -- 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 "Michael Tissington" <mtissington[ at ]newsgroup.nospam> wrote in message news:ukuJAa0THHA.868[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl...

Re: Close method returning 80040108 "Michael Tissington" <mtissington[ at ]newsgroup.nospam> 2/13/2007 5:47:37 PM Thanks and Argh .... Yes, I'm calling it in the Close ... basically I do not want the Outlook confimration dialog box to show up - I've already displayed my own. Is there another way to do this now ?

Re: Close method returning 80040108 "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 2/13/2007 8:03:23 PM Argh yes, since they broke compatibility. It's documented as a known issue for Outlook 2007 at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;929593, not documented at all for the change to Outlook 2003. I've been using timers for my applications, but where I start the timer depends on if I'm handling Item.Send or whatever. Otherwise I don't know of any workarounds. -- 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 "Michael Tissington" <mtissington[ at ]newsgroup.nospam> wrote in message news:ODdIMc5THHA.1000[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl...
