Help Topic - Add Method (Recipients Collection) Example
The line of code:
Set myRecipient.Type = olCC
Should read:
myRecipient.Type = olCC
Help Topic - Recipients Collection Object
The two lines of code that read:
Set myRecipient = myItem.Recipients.Add "Jon Grande"
Should read:
Set myRecipient = myItem.Recipients.Add("Jon Grande")
Help Topic - Recipients Object
This topic has the same problem as "Recipients Collection Object" above.
Help Topic - CreateItemFromTemplate Method Example
The line of code:
Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook Application")
Should read:
Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Help Topic - SentOnBehalfOfName Property
The Outlook Visual Basic Help file (Vbaoutl.hlp) incorrectly states that the SentOnBehalfOfName property is read-only.
When you use Microsoft Visual Basic Script with Outlook 97, you should use the SentOnBehalfOfName property to set the "From" field on a form.
For more information on setting a From field, please see the following article(s)in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
168022 OL97: How to Set a Form's From Field Using VBScript
Help Topic - NoteItem and ReportItem Objects
The NoteItem and ReportItem objects do not support any events, although the Help file has cross-references that imply they do.
Help Topic - CustomerID Property
This property is read-write, not read-only.
