Outlook- send an email and open a winform application

Question

Hi guys,

I'd like to integrate a software with the info I sent it by outlook. This is what I need:
I send an email from outlook, right after the send button is clicked it opens an application with some data copied from the email, such as email address, subject... and I will fill out some info else... this application will save this info to the database...
I found out examples how to create an outlook in NET, but I need to use the outlook application and call my NET application when the send button is clicked.

I hope you guys can help me with this issue, I need some suggestions please...

Thank you for your help...

I am saying that there is something you are not telling us. The answers are obvious to you but not to us. It will really, really help for you to be able to think in terms of our understanding. If you want us to understand you, you need to listen to us. You say you " send an email from outlook " then " it opens an application with some data copied from the email ". Note that you don't say what "it" is. You need to be careful about words like "it", "that", "those" and "they". You say that it opens an application with some data copied from the email , which means that it already has the data from the email. Got that? You said that it has the data. So I probably misunderstand, but you need to clarify things for me to understand. In your last message, you say " it must open a window " but you still don't say what it is and I don't understand why that must be done.

Sam. well I dont know why you say that I already have the info... I mean that after i sent an email it must open a window from a custom application with the info from the email. I dont have to type again the info from the email sent... so the question is how to get this info in another application... I know this info is in the email in the sent file folder, you mean that I have there the info??... Im sorry if this is confused but Im gonna try with events and vbscript in outlook I found out an event _ItemSend.. I hope this is the solution.. Thanxs...

I still don't understand. You have the information you need to send the message so I don't understand why you need to get the information again. It does not make sense so I assume I don't understand what you are trying to say. You can probably get better help if you explain the problem better.

Naim, thanx.. I understand what you mean... but it is working from the application... I need to start from the outlook... Sam, I mean, I want to send an email from the outlook then automatically open an application with the info from the email in this application. I add some info else and then save them to the database... A friend of mine just told me that he have seen it in a company, maybe it is a macro from the outlook, i am gonna check that on outlook... thanxs...

I am confused, because you say you need to send a message using Outlook and then use information from the message to do sonething else so you need information from the message to do something else. I don't understand why you need to get the information from the message since you gave the information for the message to Outlook.

its mean you have to store data into variables and using this variable you save into Data Base.. like email address , subjects or whatever you want to save.. or you can transfer data into text file before sending email.. its all depends on event.. like button event.. hope you understand what i want to tell you if not then give me your module i will make it my self... Regards,
