How do you access balloon tips in the task tray area using VBA? I'm looking to find some simple methods to display and possibly even interact with the user.
I am using Windows XP and MS Access 2003.
Not in the task tray, but one way would be to use the office assistant.

We are trying to determine the feasibility of adding more columns to the "Select Rooms" panel in Outlook 2016. We would feed the data in the new custom columns from Active Directory.
Before I dig into learning how to write a add-in we would like to know if it is even possible. Would c# be required? Or could it be done in Visual Basic with macros?
No, you cannot do that - the columns are determined by the particular Address Book provider (MSEMS in your case).
thanks for your time good people!
I am adapting an Access 2010 client to work with a new SQL Express Server 2008 back end. The back end is up and running. No problems there. Filestream is configured and working fine.
My problem relates to acessing the filestream BLOB data I've stored in the SQL Express Server 2008 instance from my client. Specifically accessing the data through the win 32 OpenSqlFilestream API as detailed here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645940.aspx
I know I cannot access this API within VBA. I have to write all the relevant code in a different language. Therefore I plan to write a mini-program in VB.NET which will consist of a pop up form that allows users to add, edit, delete etc the files stored through filestream.
I want to open this mini VB.NET program from within Access 2010 as a pop up form.
How do i do this? I have never written or compiled a program in vb.NET, furthermore I don't know how I can then call this program from within my VBA code in the Access 2010 client.
Please help.
Thanks,

This seems real simple but Google is not very clear. I made a Vb.net app, works great on my desktop. I want to put it into SharePoint so others can download and use it. Will this work?
Yes, but not immediately. SharePoint blocks certain file types which you're going to have to allow. You can find more about that here (note: you can pick the version of SharePoint you have just under the heading for relevant documentation).
We have a document library that is built inhouse. We are migrating to SharePoint 2010 Document Library, but this will be a time consuming process and many very old documents may not get moved to SharePoint at all. I would like to provide the same experience for our users when they open a document from SharePoint or our legacy system. The behavior I would like is like when you open a Workbook or Document that is rendered in the browser using the "Open In Excel" and "Open in Word" button that you get when you open a document stored in a Share Point Document Library.
I am not sure what this technology is called or where to start looking to configure this or integrate into an addin.
Any starting points are much appreciated.
I'm not exactly clear on what your question is, but perhaps you are looking to use the Office Web Apps. This allows you to use the Office applications within the browser.
I am designing a shared add-in using VB.Net 2008 and VSTO that has to fire up when any MS Office App is started. It has to work for both 2002, 2003 and 2007 applications. I have managed to put together a working add-in that pops up a test message stating the version of Office and the Application name and tested this across all the apps ok.
The next part of the solution is to code the application specific code that needs to run for document auditing and corporate protective marking as well as, for example; in Excel checking that all the Add-Ins are linked to the Network Add-Ins folder.
My approach from now was going to be to late bind against the application object and set one of my typed (e.g. Excel) application object references which exist in the code to this object.
I'm still relativly new to VSTO so if I am doing something odd please can you let me know! :)
Ta.
I have completed this project and did it the way I specified using late bindig. It works lieka dream for all office apps both XP and 2007. :) I feel like I am announcing this to myself though as I didn't recieve a single answer or comment. Maybe you should have sexed up the title a bit Mas. Yeah maybe I should.
