I am running Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. Yes, I wish didn't have to. I have put the VBA code generated by org-outlook-generate-vba into Outlook and then I changed the org-outlook-location to "c:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Office/Office14/OUTLOOK.EXE" in org-outlook.el. I didn't seem to work when I tried to change it through customize-group. I apparently get a link into an org document, but when click this link I get "ShellExecute failed: w32 error 2147749890". I have set up org-protocol according to the Org Manual (http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.html). I later came across this setup: http://denihow.com/can-i-create-a-link-to-a-specific-email-message-in-outlook/ Which seems much simpler and looks to be sufficient for what I want, but this doesn't work either. It seems there is a problem with Dim doClipboard As New DataObject I have tried to search for help on VBA, that I have no prior experience with, for a clue as for what the problem is, but that has so far been a very frustrating experience. I am therefore hoping someone here has a working setup with Outlook 2010 and could point me in the right direction. I doesn't have to be with org-outlook, I just want have working links to Outlook messages in my org files. -- Cheers, Per
