1) Not that I know of

2) + 3) Check the return code of _OL_Open.

Thanks for your answer water.

If I search the OutlookEX wiki regarding this, it suggest to set the _OL_ErrorNotify(2).

#RequireAdmin

#include <OutlookEX.au3>

_OL_ErrorNotify(2)

_OL_MailSignatureSet("name", "name")

When I do this, I get:

 

Have tried different things without success. How do I get it to react on the error, and not give me the pop up?
If it fails because of the script running with different permissions than Outlook, then I would like it to:

1. Stop trying to set the default signature, and just continue the script (right now everything after "_OL_MailSignatureSet" will never run, since it fails, and eventually closes the script)

2. Set the error message as a variable that I can work with (add to the log etc.)

 

What am I missing here? :|

 

Also I have noticed that it leaves an instance of "Microsoft Word" open as a background process. I know that "_OL_MailSignatureSet" is using Word, but when it fails like here, the Word process just keeps running.

Seems a call of _OL_Open is missing?

I just checked the _OL_MailSignatur* functions. They do not use Outlook to work with the signature but the Word object

A wise man once told me that it wasn't needed

I'm on vacation right now. Will check after my return. 

[david1337]

Oh, have a nice vacation!

Could you please upload your picture of the error message to the forum? Dropbox is blocked here

[david1337]

sure thing! Here it is:

 

[water]

I would add _OL_Open and then check the returned error:

#RequireAdmin
#include <OutlookEX.au3>

Global $oOL = _OL_Open()
If @error Then
    ; Log the error etc.
    Exit
EndIf
_OL_MailSignatureSet("name", "name")
; ...
_OL_Close($oOL)
Exit

Hey guys,

seems the UDF gets used by some of you
Is there anything missing (functions in the UDF, examples, tutorials in the wiki ...)?

Hello @water, I love your UDF on outlook! but I can't seem to figure out how to use the _OL_OOFSet

I used your example and didn't change anything

#include <OutlookEX.au3>

Global $oOutlook = _OL_Open()
If @error <> 0 Then Exit MsgBox(16, "OutlookEX UDF", "Error creating a connection to Outlook. @error = " & @error & ", @extended = " & @extended)

Global $iOOF = _OL_OOFSet($oOutlook, "*", True, "This is a new Out-Of-Office message!")
If @error <> 0 Then Exit MsgBox(16, "OutlookEX UDF: _OL_OOFSet Example Script", "Error setting the OOF message. @error = " & @error & ", @extended: " & @extended)

_OL_Close($oOutlook)

but I keep getting an error 

Error setting the OOF message. @error = 2, @extended: 0

Now I don't really understand the @error in autoit, so I was wondering how to debug this to see where the error is really.

 

Thanks!

[water]

To find the possible values for @error you need to check the UDF.

@error = 2 stands for: Invalid StoreType. Has to be $olPrimaryExchangeMailbox or $olExchangeMailbox

Means: For the type of MailStore you use you can't set the OOF. Only Exchange supports OOF.

This is weird since we are using exchange et work, any ways to debug this further?

 

Also thanks for the @error location, I see it now.

[water]

Which version of Exchange, Outlook and the UDF do you run?

[dumou8343]

Outlook is 2013, UDF is 1.2.1.0, and 1.2.2.0 (both same problem) and exchange I have no idea I don't manage it I just use it.

[water]

I seemed to have problems with OOFs in the past
The example script contains the following line:

Quote

; Does not always work! Unfortunately I don't know why!

 

[dumou8343]

alright thanks a lot for your help! 

I'll try to do it in VBS then,

Good day to you!

[water]

If you find a VBS solution that works for you could you please post it here? VBS should be easy to translate to AutoIt.

[dumou8343]

No problem as soon as I get some time I'll look into it!
