VBA, odd Add Note behavior

odd Add Note behavior

Author	Message
Kris Rudi #1 / 7	odd Add Note behavior I have a web page running from within outlook, and I use client-side VBScript to add a new note, but when the new note pops up, it always goes out of focus, behind outlook (deselected in task bar). I create the object like this: Set ol = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set myNameSpace = ol.Application.GetNameSpace("MAPI") set myFolder = myNameSpace.Folders("Public Folders").Folders("All Public Folders").Folders("clients").Folders("Client Folder Name").Folders("Notes") set myItem = myFolder.Items.Add myItem.display This does create the note, and will add it to the correct folder, but the user clicks on a link to add the note, and then the note pops up, quickly "hides", and the user has to click on the icon in the task bar to bring the new note to the foreground. Is there something I can do to make it stay on top? Thanks, -- Kris Rudin, MS, MCP Aurora Consulting Group, Inc.

Kris Rudi #5 / 7	odd Add Note behavior The code snippet I have included is in a sub called AddNote(): sub AddNote() [code here] end sub I have a link on my web page that looks like this: <a href="#" onclick="AddNote()">Add a Note</a> Very basic and simple. Or, at least it seems to me... Thanks for looking into this!

Stuart Forres #6 / 7	odd Add Note behavior Possibly the # bookmark is making the link reference the page again (looking for a #), after the sub has run to call the note? Have you tried using a <input type=button onclick="AddNote()" value ="Add a note">? Does it do the same thing?

Kris Rudi #7 / 7	odd Add Note behavior Good suggestion - but I found that you can call the Item.display method with a parameter to make it modal (ie, stay on top): myItem.display(true) That seems to work spiffy!
