Dialing

[Scott Smith]

I have seen a few (very few) posts on this, but the suggestions posted
did not work for me.

What I would like to do is call the Outlook dialer from VB Script,
essentially the same as if I had pressed the "call" button.

Some of the suggestions referred to the "CommandBars" property (I
think), but as I mentioned, it did not work for me.

How can I do this?

Thanks!

In addition to executing the menu commands with CommandBars, Outlook also
provides a Namespace.Dial method, which takes a ContactItem as its argument.

Thanks Sue. That did the trick.
Now, is there any way to force the "Start Call" button, and the
subsequent "Talk" button?

AFAIK, only with SendKeys.
