write macro for toolbar?

[Penny Miller]

I'm trying to figure out how to write a macro to open a form that I created
in the Organizational Forms Library. This is what I've done so far;

Sub TimeOffRequest()
Set myFolder = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set myItem = myFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Note.Time Off - DIS_v1a")
myItem.Display
End Sub

However, when I go to run the macro I get an vb error that says;
The macros in the project are disabled.

I thought I had enabled all macros, what setting did I miss?

Exchange Server 2003/Outlook2003

You have to set the security level of the security zone in which the
form resides to medium-low or low, to get the scripts to run
automatically. To do this, go to Tools->Options->Security Tab, and
then click the Zone Settings button, OK the warning and then you will
be able to set the zone settings.

The macro security settings are not in Tools | Options, but on the Tools | Macro | Security dialog.

Tools | Macro | Security dialog.

Well, that is certainly an easier place to find, and has a better
explanation, but I bet the other place sets them also. And you get the
colored icons that tell you which zone you are modifying.

No, the zone security setting is not related to the macro security setting.

No, the zone security setting is not related to the macro security
setting.

OK, I'll buy that; but how are the zone security settings used in
Outlook?

They're not used at all in Outlook 2007. In earlier versions, they govern the rendering behavior of HTML-format messages and posts.

Thanks, Sue. It is nice to learn something just as they go obsolete.
If I had passed up this thread, I could have been blissfully ignorant.

Actually, what made the difference wasn't that fact that my macro settings
were incorrect it was how the form was published. I needed to check the box
in the properties that states Send form definition with item. Once I did
that It was fine.

How very strange. But then, I have long held that Microsoft has changed the
model of the Operating System from parameters in a box, to parameters on a
Mobius strip that runs throughout the OS and Office Applications. Anything can
effect anything else on that strip and you have no way of knowing.

I just noticed that you are just a hop, skip, and a whole world away over there
East of the Mountains. Isn't winter fun!

Yes, I'm in the Wenatchee area and we have a bunch of snow. Were you
affected by the storm over your way?

Not terribly. We lost power, of course, but no other real damage. A
seedling apple tree (one of Johnny Appleseed's bad seeds) tipped over
down in the swamp area, and two wild cherry trees snapped off. They
will be a pain to clean up, but not a serious problem.
