polara Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 HI,no this code is correct. Show yours and we'll find the mistake. So long,MegaOk, here is what I have. As you can see, I am using the RUNWAIT command to call a .cmd file on a server share that has my Robocopy script that runs the actual backup. Later I will figure out how to rewrite it to run in AutoIt. One step at a time for now. Again, this runs perfectly if Outlook is open or if you click Cancel, but errors if you click Ok when Outlook is already closed.; Backup Job$ol = ObjGet("","outlook.Application")If @error Then ;no outlook to grab ontoEndIf$update = MsgBox(1,"Backup","Backup needs to close Outlook before it can run. Click Ok to close Outlook or Cancel if you do not want to close Outlook at this time.")If $update = 2 Then MsgBox(0,"Backup", "Backup has been canceled.") ExitEndIf$ol.quitEndIfRUNWAIT("\\server\share\Backup\Scripts\dbu.cmd")MsgBox(0,"Backup","Backup has finished. Please remember to run backup regularly.")

MHz Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) What happens if you change the line ";no outlook to grab onto" into "$ol = ObjCreate("outlook.Application")" ? Edit: my mistake. I see you want Outlook closed, not opened... Edited July 6, 2006 by MHz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polara Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 What happens if you change the line ";no outlook to grab onto" into "$ol = ObjCreate("outlook.Application")" ?If I make this change AND remove the EndIf after $ol.quit, it seems to work as I want. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polara Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) If I make this change AND remove the EndIf after $ol.quit, it seems to work as I want. Thanks!Well, this is interesting. Adding "$ol = ObjCreate("outlook.Application")" is making things work because it's somehow opening an instance of outlook.exe but not actually opening the outlook interface. A little background here: The whole reason for all this concern about closing outlook is so that the outlook .pst files can be backed up. Normally, .pst files are "locked" when outlook is open and cannot be backed up. So this is why outlook must be closed first. Somehow, "$ol = ObjCreate("outlook.Application")" is opening an instance of outlook without opening or locking any .pst files, then closing outlook.exe when it's done (when Ok is clicked in the final MsgBox) Strange!!

herewasplato Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) Adding in this EndIf at the end gets me this error:EndIfError: "EndIf" statement with no matching "If" statement.I only moved one EndIf.(Edit: I did not add an EndIf.)See edited post above...Stick with ObjGet Edited July 6, 2006 by herewasplato [size="1"][font="Arial"].[u].[/u][/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
