After deploying a Word Add-in via centralised deployment, it doesn't show up in Word. We used this procedure to deploy the add-in and it lists it there succesfully. Because we were worried it may be due to something wonky with our own plugin, we then decided to try to deploy the 'Contoso Citations' plugin which is used in the same procedure and screenshots here . After capturing traffic whenever we press 'Update' under the Add-in Admin Managed dialog, we noticed a connection to Exchange. We then captured the traffic using a proxy and some root certificates, and we found the following call:

This is basic stuff, but I'm somewhat unfamiliar with VBA and the Word/Access object models. I have a two column database of about 117000 records. The columns are 'surname' and 'count'. I want a user to be able to type SMITH in a textbox and hit submit. I then want to run something like SELECT table.count FROM table WHERE surname = string and return the value of table.count in a string. It feels like this should be five or six lines of code (which I have but won't post) but I'm obviously missing something! Cheers First of all, be careful naming the column 'count' -- this is a keyword in SQL

What happened to OCX's? Are they no longer possible to create with the latest tools? I need to create an ActiveX control that I can place in Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents. If I use VS.NET, I can only create a UserControl DLL with COM Interop, but I don't think I can add that using the "More Controls" toolbox of PowerPoint's Developer Tab. What would you do? Yes, you can still create them. But you can't create an OCX with a .NET language. Need to be unmanaged C++ (or VB). The DLLs with COM interop you can create in C# or VB.NET are just .NET objects that are invoked via CCW. You can

I have an Outlook 2007/2010 add-in where I have successfully added a context-menu button to the explorer. The button itself is displayed correctly and working fine however I am unable to position it above the built-in controls on the context-menu, it is always added to the bottom. I have created the same button using VSTO 3.0 for an Outlook 2003 add-in and the same code creates a button that is at the top of the context menu above the 'Open' button. My code is below void Application_ItemContextMenuDisplay(CommandBar CommandBar, Selection Selection) { if (Selection.Count != 1) return;

I know the IEEE 754 floating point standard by heart as I had to learn it for an exam. I know exactly how floating point numbers are used and the problems that they can have. I can manually do any operation on the binary representation of floating point numbers. However, I have not found a single source which unambiguously states that excel uses 64 bit floating point numbers to internally represent every single cell "type" in excel except for text. I have no idea whether some of the types use signed or unsigned integers and some use 64 bit floating point. I have found literally trillions of

I'm writing a C# program that acts as a PowerPoint 2007 plugin. On some machines, some calls to the PowerPoint object model throw a COMException with the message RPC_E_SYS_CALL_FAILED . I couldn't find any specific advice on what to do regarding this error, or how to avoid it. From Googling it looks like something to do with the message queue or Single-Threaded Apartments. Or am I way off? Example of the error message is: System call failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010100 (RPC_E_SYS_CALL_FAILED)) at Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint._Presentation.get_FullName() Unfortunately, the

I'm using MS Office 2003 PIA to create a MS Word document from c#. ApplicationClass officeApplication = new ApplicationClass(); Is there any way to specify that I don't want any office add-ins to be loaded using this method? EDIT: I know that one can do this via command line so I'm pretty sure there must be a way to do it from code: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Winword.exe" /a This code unload the AddIns officeApplication.AddIns.Unload(false); Edited: When you need to mix the process start and possibility to use the office "application" interface, you need the Marshal

I Have the following code to count the number of emails in a outlook folder. Sub HowManyEmails() Dim objOutlook As Object, objnSpace As Object, objFolder As Object Dim EmailCount As Integer Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set objnSpace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI") On Error Resume Next Set objFolder = objnSpace.Folders("Personal Folders").Folders("Inbox").Folders("report's").Folders("Customer") If Err.Number <> 0 Then Err.Clear MsgBox "No such folder." Exit Sub End If EmailCount = objFolder.Items.Count Set objFolder = Nothing Set objnSpace = Nothing Set objOutlook =
