Writing code in note-pad

[jase]

Hello,
A while ago a friend showed me how it is possible to write code
straight into Notepad and then save it in a certain way, and then be
able to call the procedure from another file.

I can't remember how he did it and i can't remember what he explained
the advantages of this method to be! Does anybody ever use this and if
so can they give me some pointers plus why you would want to do this.

Help appreciated
Jason

Is this question Outlook related somehow, or did you perhaps post in the
wrong group?

Maybe you're thinking of .vbs files, which contain VBScript and are executed
by the Windows Scripting Host. These files are essentially plain text and
can be edited in Notepad. Outlook uses VBScript in the code behind custom
forms.
