Shutdown script to open Signin board

F

flaterp

I have created a signin/signout board (in the Public Folders) on a network.
The purpose of the board is to allow all networked personnel (with access to
the board to signin/signout when logging on/off. Some people are more
reluctant than others to use the signout board, so it is difficult ensuring
everyone use it. Having the user log on is solved simply by putting a
shortcut (.lnk) to the board in the users 'startup' folder. However, logging
off poses a problem. I would like to create a script or registry entry that
automatically loads the same shortcut when the user tries to log off. Anyone
have any suggestions? ?Thanks in advance.

I'm not a VB expert but could you script something tied to the Outlook
OnExit event?

If the code can be run as a macro the poster could use the Application_Quit
event if they didn't need any access to Outlook items or objects or
properties (they are out of scope at that point). That event can be handled
from the ThisOutlookSession class module. Otherwise a COM Addin would be
used and would do its thing at the Close event of the last Explorer if
access was needed to Outlook objects or from On_Disconnect or
OnBeginShutDown if not.

www.outlookcode.com has examples of macros running in ThisOutlookSession and
of sample COM Addins.
