AskWoody LoungerAugust 16, 2001 at 12:40 pm in reply to: Is my Outlook form haunted? (Outlook 98, access 97) #537690How can I program it in VB so that I can make the “CurrentItem” the form? Will a double click bring the focus to the button/form (between step 3 and step4). If I leave it as is… a single click will activate the button on the form. Will a double click 1.set the focus on the form and 2. act on the button. Can someone show me how to do it?
1. Open a New message or Reply to a message
2. Start a CIGARS form
3. Switch back to your email message and enter more information.
4. Switch back to the CIGARS and press the “Submit Request to CIGARS” -

AskWoody LoungerAugust 15, 2001 at 10:28 pm in reply to: Is my Outlook form haunted? (Outlook 98, access 97) #537592I have found a bug in my forms that will in the right circumstance, send out an email message instead of the Form being worked on. These are the steps that will produce the problem.
1. Open a New message or Reply to a message
2. Start a CIGARS form
3. Switch back to your email message and enter more information.
4. Switch back to the CIGARS and press the “Submit Request to CIGARS”The “Submit Request to CIGARS” cmd button is used to forward the request via code to a distribution list.
This will send your email message and not the CIGARS form. In order for this not happen until we fix this problem, we ask that the users make sure that you are not in Outlook either creating a new message or replying to a message.This is the code I use to forward this form:
Sub Forward1
SetObjForward = Application.ActivInspector.Currentitem
ObjForward.To=”CIGARS”
ObjForward.SendOnBehalfOfName=strCAD
ObjForward.Send
End SubCan anyone recommend what I can change? By clicking on the new message and then back to my forms it id’s my message as the CurrentItem.

AskWoody LoungerGot the project started and have picked out a scanner.
Will be using a Kodak – 35xx. – Most of the high speed scanner are build the same but the Kodak seemed to have a stronger case built into it. Less maintenance by our people was a very big factor. For the software looking at using Kofax because it seems to be more flexable and offers more options then the others. By next month we hope to have at least one in production. Will try to update this one more time then.

AskWoody LoungerWhen I to to Excel/Macros/VB/Tools/Ref. I have Outlook 8.0 Obj. library checked. I still get the same problem. If I take out the objOutlook or Outlook from “Outlook.Applications” it goes a step further. I am not a programmer but I am starting to understand what you are saying. Will try again.

AskWoody LoungerI am trying to combine this information into a new field. In the Expression Builder I can use this line.
Expr1: IIf([dbPCon]![mfdisk]=True,”Mainframe to Disk”)But if I try to add a second or so forth I can get it to work. I also tried:
Expr1: IIf([dbPCon]![mfdisk]=True,”Mainframe to Disk”)and IIf([dbPCon]![PCMF]=True,”PC to Mainframe”)and
Expr1: IIf([dbPCon]![mfdisk]=True,”Mainframe to Disk”)or IIf([dbPCon]![PCMF]=True,”PC to Mainframe”)None seem to work.
