Hello,

How can I call an Outlook macro from excel?

If I am controlling Excel from Outlook, I can use:

Code:
set XLApp = getobject(,"excel.application")
xlapp.run ("Macro1")

But Outlook does not use the run method.

Cheers,
Graeme.

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Don't have the answer that you are looking for but I would consider either (a) performing the Outlook functions from Excel [in effect having the macro in Excel] or (b) [never tried this so not sure if it will work] creating a Form in Outlook with a button to run the macro, and loading the form from Excel VBA.
