Run command in an Outlook 97 form

[Blurp]

Is it possible to run a command or an application by clicking on a button in
a custom form in outlook 97 ?

How can I do that ?

Mathieu,

To run an Outlook command include the following line in
the button's Click event:
Item.GetInspector.CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls(idOfYourCommand).Execute

To run an Application include the following line in the
button's Click event:
Set myApp = Application.CreateObject("objectName")

To find out which object name you have to use for the
application, use the Registry editor and look in
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

To start MS Word you have to use "Word.Application" and
then code:

myApp.Activate

To start MS Excel you have to use "Excel.Application"
and then code:

myApp.Visible = True
