    Outlook: On send

    Hi guys,

    I hope this is the correct forum for my post

    I'm making a CRM application (In C#). I need it to react whenever the user sends an e-mail from Outlook (2003 or 2007). I think that the best solution is probably to create a VBA script of some sort and install it in Outlook, but I have no idea where to start.
    If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd be very happy

    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Forums.

    An addin would be better but then it will have to communicate with your app. Its better because you can sign it as a trusted addin so it will always run regardless of Macro settings. Harder as you have to setup some sort of communications method between it and your app.

    You can use C# to write an Outlook AddIn too. I have some example code and walk-throughs in my Office Dev FAQ (link in my signature).

    Thanks

    I'm looking though the FAQ list (quite impressive actually ) but I don't immediately see anything related to creating a C# Outlook AddIn.. I think this is the path I need to take.

    I'll be doing some googling for now, but please hand me some links if you have them

    Thanks again
