Dear All, In Outlook 2010 (32 bit) on Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit), procedure

Question

Dear All,

In Outlook 2010 (32 bit) on Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit), procedure Application_Startup (ThisOutlookSession) won't automatically fire on Outlook startup. The same problem is with Application_Quit on shutdown.

I can run Macros by hand from VBA Editor or from Ribbon button, I can also run "by hand" procedures Application_Startup and Application_Quit.

What is more, after using VBA Editor or running any Macro, on shutdown Application_Quit is correctly run. So it looks like VBA Addin must by loaded on request/by hand via starting VBA Editor or running any Macro.

I guess the problem doesn't concern security issues, as for tests I have enabled all macros without any warnings/restrictions, I have additionally signed my macros with Selfcert.exe.

I have noticed that in "Options -> Addins" menu my "Addin MS VBA for Outlook" (outlvba.dll) has a "Inactive addin" status.

What is more when trying to add and load outlvba.dll using option "Manage COM Addins" following info is displayed:

"Behavior on loading: Load on request, (currently not loaded)".

When I open VBA Editor (Alt+F11) and/or run any macro, above mentioned addin changes status to "Active addin" and during shutdown procedure "Application_Quit" is correctly run.

I want to add that Outlook 2010 with the same project VbaProject.OTM works great on Windows Vista 32 bit.

During tests I have also run Outlook in different "compatibility" settings. Using Windows tools "Solve compatibility problems" I have changed parameters to:

"Run as admin"

"Vista compatibility mode"

"XP compatibility mode"

While using above mentioned tool Outlook was started correctly, including running Application_Startup on startup.

However, after saving changes, leaving Wizzard and running Outlook once again, everything was ruined again and Application_Startup didn't execute.

Now my Application_Startup has only 1 line (MsgBox "Test"), so I doubt the problem is any potential code mistake.

I have read a lot of stuff and didn't find any solution of my problem, so I will be very thankful for Your help!

Explanation / Answer

Close Outlook, then see if changing the value for LoadBehaviour to "3" here in the registry makes a difference:
