    Help needed with 'installing' macro's

    Hi All,

    I am pretty new to macro's (esp. outlook) so sorry if this is a stupid question. I have tried to search the forums, but I dont really know what I am looking for.

    I am reasonably confident with programming and VB though.


    I have converted a program I have written in VB to VBA. I have this program working perfectly in my version of outlook (2003). It is a small program that monitors and grabs stats for a few email games I play.

    On my computer the half the code lives in: -

    a) Project1 -> Microsoft Office Outlook Object -> ThisOutlookSession -> Application_ItemSend

    The other half lives under the buttons in

    b) Project1 -> Forms -> UserForm1 -> cmdbuttons

    I want to distribute this to my friends (all at least semi computer literate) with minimum fuss. I just dont know how to do that. I have tried exporting the .OTM file - This moves part A of the code, but does not put it in the ThisOutlookSession for that computer - so the code is there but it doesnt run
    I also tried to import the .FRM and .CLS file with no success at all.

    Ideally I would like to have an installer (I could write this in VB if needed) and the config files in either a zip or rar which I could email out to people then they unzip, run the .exe and that is it.

    I am not sure how practical this is, so some user interaction is okay as long as I can write simple instructions for them to follow.

    They have already refused to cut and paste the code and recreate the forms themselves.

    There must be a way to do this. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be really great

    I have also checked
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=290779
    and that says it cant be done, however i nearly have it working. It is just now it will not recognise Right() or Mid() and a whole slew of other stuff....

    anyone got any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,
    Steve
