Execute an Outlook addin

Post by [email protected] » Mon Jan 25, 2016 5:40 pm

I have an Outlook addin that syncs multiple calendars, however, it does not have a scheduler built in. I need to have this addin run at regular intervals. The addin places a button in the Outlook menu bar, but for some reason the class index for the class name seems to change on occasion. Does anyone have a way I might force the addin to run without "clicking" the button. I obviously can't force focus on the Outlook window and disrupt the user.

Perhaps VBA? Just a thought. I have not done this nor do I know if it can actually be done.
