Certain HTML e-mails cause Outlook VBA to crash

S

Sanjay Singh

I posted this in another newsgroup before but got no answers. Hope someone
can help.

I have developed an addin for Outlook that seems to work well for Outlook
2000-2003. However I find that Outlook 2003 crashes if I try and use the
addin after displaying certain HTML e-mails.

I had a look at the source of the e-mails and I think it is because these
e-mails have certain HTML tags in them. They all seem to refer to smarttags
similar to the following:

<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:blush:="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:blush:ffice:blush:ffice"
xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:blush:ffice:word"
xmlns:st1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:blush:ffice:smarttags"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

Is this a known issue. Any VBA activity after opening these e-mails makes
Outlook unstable. Outlook doesn't actually crash with an error message - it
just closes down. Even if I disable my addins and then try and write some
VBA code after displaying these e-mails, Outlook becomes flakey

It is so bad that even Outlook VBA gets disabled.

This error appears on Outlook 2003 on my computer.
Is this a known issue to do with Outlook 2003 or maybe Internet Explorer.

I am stumped. Any help will be great.

Thanks
Sanjay

If you don't get an answer here you might want to see if anyone in the
smarttags newsgroups has an idea. I haven't worked with that or much in the
way of HTML messages, so I can't answer you.
