I'm trying to call an outlook procedure from VBScript.
Bellow is my VBScript code (its not working)
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
objOutlook.run "Call_outlook_macro"
objOutlook.Quit
Set objOutlook = Nothing
Please help me.
EDIT:
Basically, I wanted to call outlook macro by clicking a hyper link (using HTML tags and href, I'm not very good with HTML) in incoming mail(this will be sent from servers). But I couldn't find a way to use hyperlinks to call macros.
The work around to this was to create a VBScript to call the outlook macro. I can easily fire a VBscript using a hyper link.
Also, the outlook macro I'm trying to call eventually opens up an outlook form.
If there's a way I can fire outlook macro using hyperlink in the mails, that would be great.
Try
objOutlook.mySub()
instead of objOutlook.Run "Call_outlook_macro" like suggested here.
mySubhas to be in ThisOutlookSession module.
What is your Outlook version? This will not work with all versions how-to-call-vba-macro-from-vbscript-in-outlook-2010.
If you can't call a procedure, you can adapt the sub to VBScript and use it directly, instead of calling it from Outlook.
Alternative: write an Add-In like suggested here handle-hyperlink-click-event-in-outlook-mail.
Alternative 2: Open form with javascript as suggested here To launch a custom Outlook form from a Web page.
There is no way to call a VBA macro from message bodies (hyperlinks). A new Outlook form is shown because you create a new Outlook Application instance:
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Try to use the GetObject or GetActiveObject functions instead, see GetObject or GetActiveObject cannot find a running Office application for more information.

I am scraping data from a proprietary system that serves inventory information via HTML. It includes images of parts that I'd like to scrape, but I cannot use the src link directly (the system is designed to block requests that aren't part of a returned web search). Since I am already scraping the HTML/page text, I'm hoping that someone can tell me how images are stored in IE once a page is loaded, and if there is any way to access that using the MS HTML reference commands/library
I've tried pinging the server directly with various versions of the src URL, with no luck.
Here are some relevant lines of my VBA:
Dim IE As InternetExplorer
Set IE = objShell.Windows(x)
Dim html As Object
Set html = IE.document
Dim ResultClasses as Object
Set resultClasses = html.getElementsByClassName("PM Parts List")
My goal is to add the appropriate IE/HTML call to get the images that were loaded when the page was originally loaded in IE. I cannot call the page to load it from the start within Excel VBA, due to the way items are selected (the load of building out a whole interface within Excel and using sendkeys would be way more hassle than getting the pictures to add to the procurement form for use when validating order reciept
I have been searching the internet for hours to find a solution to my question.
I know how to import mails for a long time, but can't keep the format of the HTML-body like I could do when copy the body from OL by hand into the Rich-text memo field on an access form.
The field (olbody) is bound to a SQL server table field olbody (nvarchar(max)) and could store html mail body text when I insert the content of the clipboard.
I even tried to read the .HTMLbody property in the clipboard
clp.SetText .HTMLBody
clp.PutInClipboard
and then I pasted manually the content of the clipboard with Ctrl+V in the field, but again, it does no show up like the HTML mail. But I can see all HTML commands, which should format the mail.
Without formating the mail in the access field, the content is almost unreadable because no tab, lineskip etc. is in the body.
Any help welcome.
Thanks
The proper way to display HTML is using a web browser. This means: use the web browser control!
You can load the HTML in the webbrowser control on load, and when your mail field changes.
Example code:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim wb As Object
Set wb = MyWebbrowserControl.Object
With wb
.Navigate2 "about:blank"
Do Until .ReadyState = 4 '=READYSTATE_COMPLETE
'This is a somewhat inefficient way to wait, but loading a blank page should only take a couple of milliseconds
DoEvents
Loop
.Document.Open
.Document.Write MemoField.Value
.Document.Close
End With
End Sub
Replace Memofield with your mail field, and MyWebbroserControl with your webbrowser control, and you should be ready to go.
Note that you probably should use the Access web browser, and not the ActiveX web browser. This code will work with both, but the Access web browser control uses a more modern version of IE, and doesn't come with a non-removable border.
I currently have a WebBrowser control in my VB.NET project being created below:
Private Sub SomeSubToPrintHTMLViaWebBrowser()
' strDocument is the giant blob of HTML text that can be seen in the jsFiddle linked later in the question.
Dim webBrowserHidden As New WebBrowser
AddHandler webBrowserHidden.DocumentCompleted, New WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventHandler(AddressOf PrintDocument)
webBrowserHidden.DocumentText = strDocument
End Sub
However when I use the .Print or .ShowPrintDialog methods of the WebBrowser, the page is coming out malformed even though when I load the HTML coding as a webpage in either IE, Edge, Chrome, or Firefox, it works perfectly fine. The coding was also validated as "proper" by the W3C Online Validator.
So what I would like to know is, what engine is WebBrowserusing to render pages?
Here is the HTML/CSS coding that I'm trying to run
https://jsfiddle.net/et1t2kh5/
This is probably because the WebBrowser control is emulating an older version of IE.
Unfortunately, there's no easy fix for this and the workaround requires that you modify the registry.
Using the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION
Add a new DWORD entry, where the name will be the name of your application's executable and then set the value to 2af8 (hex) or 11000 (dec).
This will force the WebBrowser control to use IE11's rendering engine.

I was searching for a method to change Outlook Emails to HTML. I found one method that uses VBscript, but it only changes the Outlook File to Text.
Edit: I'm looking for a way to automatically save hundreds of emails to HTML format.
There are number of ways to go here:
Set up a rule to run a script
Wire up a VBS script to fire when you receive and email
Write and Add-in to do the above.
The advantage of the Add-in is that it can be easily deployed compared to rules and scripts, but it a little more complicated.
Number 1 Is probably the easiest to set up if you have no experience.
Open the Visual Basic Editor (Alt+F11) or off the tools menu > Macro
Click on the ThisOutlookSession node on the left
Copt this code in to the right hand page
Sub CustomMailMessageRule(Item As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim HtmlMessagePath As String
HtmlMessagePath = "C:\Users\Marcus\AppData\Roaming\KnowledgeMill\html\" + Item.Subject + ".html"
Call Item.SaveAs(HtmlMessagePath, OlSaveAsType.olHTML)
End Sub
4 .Change the paths and may be use the Item.EntryID as the file name as you could get filename problems with subject you may also want to use mhtml so that you get everything in one file.
5.Create a Rule using the rules wizard and get it to fire on new emails and then to run a script. Click on the Blue script links and select the new script.
6.You may have to adjust you macro security to allow the script to run. (N.B restart outlook after you do this)
You can acutally view the email in a browser in outlook 2007. The option is under under 'other actions' in the ribbon.
You can save the email as html too!
You can set up rules to print emails automatically. I would just set up an HTML printer on your computer.
I'm creating a form on MS Access 2003 that will send out a html email newsletter to a list of email addresses. How do I put a preview button into my form that will let me preview my email before I send it? I think I have to use an active-x control, but I have no idea where to start.
see if tutorials at following link helps you
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/email.htm
Add a web browser object (active x control). Navigate to about:blank, then call myBrowserObject.Document.Write("all yor html).
A2KSHTML.zip is an HTML Editor built around the MS Web Browser control.
In Access 2007 you can set a memo field's TextFormat property to RichText. See Insert or add a rich text field
