Can Outlook start a macro when opened?

[MrMason]

I am trying to run a vba/macro routine in Outlook, automatically when I start
Outlook from the scheduler, via a vb.net shell command. If there is a way to
do this I can't find the way. I can start Outlook ok but I can't run the
macro.

I do something similar with Access when starting it from a batch file run by
the scheduler. I use a /x followed by a macro name.

Appreciate your help

Put any code you want to run at startup into the Application_Startup event handler in the built-in ThisOutlookSession module in OUtlook VBA. You can't run an Outlook macro from an external command.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba
