The result of the Macscript call should be 'after tell application', which should be displayed in a VBA dialog box.

This time, Outlook should start even if it has not started. S = s & 'return ''after tell application''' & vbCrLf Move to the next step.Ģ. Insert the following line after the 'tell application' line: Will happen (Outlook will not start if it has not already been started).

If that fails, I would also guess a permission error of some kind. Then cut the script down to the bare minimum by commenting out all the 's = s &' lines except the initial 'tell application' and final 'end tell' lines. Quotation marks, invalid email address etc.) In that case, the first step is to look at the generated applescript (In the VBE Immediate window) and see if you can spot any obvious errors (two lines joined into one, missing The alternative is to try to work entirely in the VB Editor (I don't recommend it). If that works, there is probably a security/permissions If there are errors, you will need to fix them (you can post back here as necessary) and eventually copy them back into your VBA. In the Applescript editor, I would compile that. Set theMessage to make new outgoing message with properties Or, you can copy the text generated by the 'debug.print s' VBA statement from the VBE's Immediate window into the Applescript Editor. The Applescript generated by the above is as follows - you will need to substitue the email address and document path/name. If possible, I suggest that you find and open the Applescript editor (in Yosemite, it's not just for AppleScript, it's in the Applications folder, and it is called 'Script Editor') and try to run the code in there. So you will need to dive deeper into Applescript than you probably wanted if you have never The error returned by the MacScript function usually just tells you that an error has occurred, without providing any detail. You do have to put a real email address where I have put

OK, first I re-checked to ensure it was working here, which it is.
