Extensibility.IDTExtensibility2.OnStartupComplete

On Error Resume Next

Dim oCommandBars As CommandBars

Dim oStandardBar As CommandBar

' Set up a custom button on the "Standard" command bar.

oCommandBars = applicationObject.CommandBars

If oCommandBars Is Nothing Then

' Outlook has the CommandBars collection on the Explorer object.

oCommandBars = applicationObject.ActiveExplorer.CommandBars

End If

oStandardBar = oCommandBars.Item("Standard")

If oStandardBar Is Nothing Then

' Access names its main toolbar Database.

oStandardBar = oCommandBars.Item("Database")

End If

' In case the button was not deleted, use the exiting one.

MyButton = oStandardBar.Controls.Item("Polyform Auto-print")

If MyButton Is Nothing Then

MyButton = oStandardBar.Controls.Add(1)

With MyButton

.Caption = "Polyform Auto-Print"

.Style = MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonCaption

' The following items are optional, but recommended.

' The Tag property lets you quickly find the control

' and helps MSO keep track of it when more than

' one application window is visible. The property is required

' by some Office applications and should be provided.

.Tag = "Polyform Auto-print"

' The OnAction property is optional but recommended.

' It should be set to the ProgID of the add-in, so that if

' the add-in is not loaded when a user clicks the button,

' MSO loads the add-in automatically and then raises

' the Click event for the add-in to handle.

.OnAction = "!<MyCOMAddin.Connect>"

.Visible = True

End With

MsgBox("button load")

oStandardBar = Nothing

oCommandBars = Nothing

oMsg.Attachments.Item(i).FileName)

maLongueur = Len(oMsg.Attachments.Item(i).FileName)

monExt = Mid(oMsg.Attachments.Item(i).FileName, maLongueur - 2, 3)

MsgBox("Entre dans le case " & maLongueur & " " & monExt)

Select Case monExt

Case "pdf"

Process.Start("c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe",
"/p/h ""C:\travail\temp\attachements\" & oMsg.Attachments.Item(i).FileName &
"")

End Select

MsgBox(oMsg.Attachments.Item(i).FileName)

End If

Ok i think i didnt been clear on my question,

First i made a lil add-in that from a button i add to Outlook 2k bar, that
trigger a litle code that goes trough each email in the client inbox and
print attachement if they are PDF, super easy and super simple,

The problem is that im running the add-in trough debug mode and it work,
once install on the client nothing work, i go back on my station to try it
again and nothing work anymore...

Is there any known issue about add-in programming ? or is it something whit
the coding i didnt do right,

im very lost !

Thanks in advance !
