Hello,

does anybody know how to set the picture property of an image frame in
Microsoft Outlook at runtime?

Thanks in advance,
Beo Lutz

Either I haven't had enough coffee this morning, or I'm up way to early to
follow this, but I think you want to know how to include a gif or jpg from
automation.  If this is the case you would use the HTMLBody property of a
mailitem object and assign the html tags that comprise your message.  Will
give you a heads up that Outlook 2K does not include the picture with the
message, so it is best to use links to graphics that all can access.  (eg.
http://myserver/graphic.jpg)

Oops, sorry, no, I believe I didn't make myself clear. Not enough
coffee on my part, I believe ;-) What I'm actually trying to do is to
change the image that is bound to an image frame on an outlook form at
runtime. In VBA there is a function called LoadPicture() that takes a
path name and returns an object that can be assigned to the .picture
property of the image frame, but I can't seem to find it or any
alternative in VB Script.

TIA, Beo

For an image control (objCtrl below) on an Outlook form, you can use:

    objCtrl.Picture = LoadPicture("<file name>"

Thanks, but if that is possible then maybe I have some other problem.
I have code like this:

  Sub Item_Open

    Set iCurrent = Item.GetInspector
    Set pCurrent = iCurrent.ModifiedFormPages("Weitere Informationen")

    pCurrent.Controls("imgFoto").Picture = LoadPicture("C:\img.gif")

  End Sub

And I get "Access denied" when executed. Does that mean there is
something wrong with the path? It works when I set the property
manually though.

TIA,
Beo Lutz

A path problem seems a reasonable explanation.
