Outlook Automation: Open an .OFT (template) 2

[Docpro777]

The (generic) code (from Fox Advisor). If any of you have experience with Outlook COM objects:

oOutlook = Createobject("outlook.application&quot
oNameSpace = oOutlook.getnamespace("MAPI&quot
oDefaultFolder=oNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(10) &&CONTACTS
oMsg = oOutlook.CreateItemFromTemplate( "C:\ MyApp\ Forms\ Mytemplate.OFT&quot
oInspector = oMsg.GetInspector
oInspector.Activate()

Is this Error message avoidable?:
"OLE IDispatch exception code: Can't open the file:
C:\ MyApp \Forms \Patient.Oft. It may not exist, you may not have permission to open it, or it may be open in another program ... check permissions for the folder..."

Thanks in advance.

HI

Do you have all the files related in
c:\MyApp\Forms\ directory..

It appears you are having spaces in your
C:\MyAPp\Forms\.... and within quotes. Maybe VFP is looking for the file in a non existing directory and so fails.

(This is my observation but I have not used what you have said here).

It is either a pathing issue (space in the path) or you have another instance of Outlook running that didn't release properly from a previous instanciation, and has locked the file.

But I assume the problem is not releated to the fact that in your code you have:
("C:\MyApp\Forms\Mytemplate.OFT&quot
and the error is
C:\MyApp\Forms\Patient.Oft. ?? Reporting a different form?

Just so you know, the codes you are using works on my
system. You may also look at faq184-1772, wich show you how to automate a OFT template without having to show it.

Thanks Ramani, Mike;

Problem is fixed: 'Twas the spaces. (Originally, I thought I closed them)
