OLE GPF

[cdmmaui]

Hello, I am getting a GPF with the following OLE code. Can anyone help?

TRY
hOutlook := CreateOLEObject( "Outlook.Application" )
hAppItem := OLEInvoke( hOutlook, "CreateItem", 1 )
OLESetProperty( hAppItem, "Start", DTOC(dDate) + " " + cTime )
OLESetProperty( hAppItem, "StartTime", cTime + ":00" )
SET CENTURY ON
OLESetProperty( hAppItem, "Duration", nLenInMin * 60 )
OLESetProperty( hAppItem, "Subject", cSubject )
OLESetProperty( hAppItem, "Body", cNotiz )
OLESetProperty( hAppItem, "Mileage", 225 )
OLEInvoke( hAppItem, "Save" )
hAppItem := NIL
hOutlook := NIL
lSave := .t.
CATCH oErr
lSave := .f.
cErrMsg += ' ' + cEol
cErrMsg += 'oErr:Subsystem = ' + oErr:subsystem + cEol
cErrMsg += 'oErr:Subcode = ' + Ltrim( Str( oErr:subCode ) ) + cEol
cErrMsg += 'oErr:description = ' + oErr:description + cEol
cErrMsg += 'oErr:filename = ' + oErr:filename + cEol
cErrMsg += 'oErr:Operation = ' + oErr:Operation + cEol
END

Which version of Outlook are you using ?

I had a similar problem with Outlook 2007 but not with previous versions.

The GPF disappeared after I added a test which checks if Outlook2007 has already been opened and if not, Outlook 2007 is opened by using WinExec() before the CreateObject().

Might this also be your problem ?

Hi Michel, thank you. Can you provide a sample so I can include in my code?

Darrell,

With the recents and current FWH versions, you can do it this way:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

TRY
   oOutlook := CreateObject( "Outlook.Application" )
   oAppItem := oOutlook:CreateItem( 1 )
   oAppItem:Start = DTOC(dDate) + " " + cTime
   oAppItem:StartTime = cTime + ":00"
   SET CENTURY ON
   oAppItem:Duration = nLenInMin * 60
   oAppItem:Subject = cSubject
   oAppItem:Body = cNotiz
   oAppItem:Mileage = 225
   oAppItem:Save()
   lSave := .t.
CATCH oErr
   lSave := .f.
   cErrMsg += ' ' + cEol
   cErrMsg += 'oErr:Subsystem = ' + oErr:subsystem + cEol
   cErrMsg += 'oErr:Subcode = ' + Ltrim( Str( oErr:subCode ) ) + cEol
   cErrMsg += 'oErr:description = ' + oErr:description + cEol
   cErrMsg += 'oErr:filename = ' + oErr:filename + cEol
   cErrMsg += 'oErr:Operation = ' + oErr:Operation + cEol
END

Hi Antonio,

I am not getting GPF but I am getting the following error.

oErr:Subsystem = Outlook.Application:CREATEITEM
oErr:Subcode = 0
oErr:description = S_OK
oErr:filename =
oErr:Operation = _START

Any ideas?

[Antonio Linares]

You have to open OutLook before running that code.

[cdmmaui]

Antonio,

Outlook 2007 was open

Darrell,

This test is working fine here:

test.prg

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include "FiveWin.ch"

function Main()

   local oOutlook := CreateObject( "Outlook.Application" )
   local oAppItem := oOutlook:CreateItem( 1 )

   MsgInfo( "done" )

return nil


Here you have the EXE:

Darrell,

Ok, I see whats going on:

Please don't use TRY ... CATCH as the Class TOleAuto use ON ERROR to route the messages, so they get catched as errors but they are not errors

Thats why in the error description you get S_OK, reporting that everything was ok

Hi Antonio,

I removed TRY...CATCH...END and got the following error.

Darrell,

This code works fine here:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include "FiveWin.ch"

function Main()

   local oOutlook := CreateObject( "Outlook.Application" )
   local oAppItem := oOutlook:CreateItem( 1 )
   
   oAppItem:Start = DTOC( Date() ) + " " + Time()

   MsgInfo( "done" )

return nil


Are you using Office 2007 ?

[cdmmaui]

Yes, Outlook 2007 SP1

[Antonio Linares]

Darrell,

Do you also get an error with the above code ?

Darrell,

Do you also get an error with the above code ?

Hi Antonio,

I also get error same as Darrell.

Error description: Error Outlook.Application:CREATEITEM/16389 E_FAIL: _START

I use OutLook 2007 SP1, when opened and not opened OutLook.

Regards,

Richard

Richard,

Are you using XP or Vista ?

Here, with Vista, it is ok.
