Open multiple outlook windows automatically when Outlook starts with VBA code


Open multiple outlook windows automatically when Outlook starts with VBA code

Here, I can introduce a VBA code to help you opening multiple Outlook windows, such as Mail, Calendar, Contacts and Tasks windows immediately when launching Outlook. Please do as this:

1. Hold down the ALT + F11 keys to open the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.

2. In the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window, double click ThisOutlookSession from the Project1(VbaProject.OTM) pane to open the module, and then copy and paste the following code into the blank module.

VBA code: Open multiple outlook windows automatically when Outlook starts:

Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim xCalendar As Folder
Dim xTasks As Folder
Dim xContacts As Folder
Dim xInbox As Folder
Dim xExplorer As Outlook.Explorer
Dim xWidth, xHeight As Integer
On Error Resume Next
xWidth = Int(GetSystemMetrics32(0) / 4) + 60
xHeight = GetSystemMetrics32(1)
Set xInbox = Outlook.Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder
xInbox.Display
Set Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = xInbox
Set xExplorer = Application.ActiveExplorer
With xExplorer
    .WindowState = olNormalWindow
    .Top = 0
    .Left = 0
    .Height = xHeight
    .Width = xWidth
End With
Set xCalendar = Outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)
xCalendar.Display
Set xExplorer = Application.ActiveExplorer
With xExplorer
    .WindowState = olNormalWindow
    .Top = 0
   .Left = xWidth
    .Height = xHeight
    .Width = xWidth
End With
Set xContacts = Outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
xContacts.Display
Set xExplorer = Application.ActiveExplorer
With xExplorer
    .WindowState = olNormalWindow
    .Top = 0
    .Left = xWidth * 2
    .Height = xHeight
    .Width = xWidth
End With
Set xTasks = Outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderTasks)
xTasks.Display
Set xExplorer = Application.ActiveExplorer
With xExplorer
    .WindowState = olNormalWindow
    .Top = 0
    .Left = xWidth * 3
    .Height = xHeight
    .Width = xWidth
End With
End Sub

3. Then go on clicking Insert > Module, copy and paste below code into the opened blank module, see screenshot:

Declare Function GetSystemMetrics32 Lib "user32" Alias "GetSystemMetrics" (ByVal xIndex As Long) As Long

4. Then save and close the codes, restart the Outlook to take the codes effect. Now, when opening Outlook, the Mail, Calendar, Contacts and Tasks windows will be opened automatically side by side, see screenshot:

El codigo de este proyecto se debe actualizar para usarse en sistemas de 64 bits. Revise y actualice las instrucciones Declare y, a continuación, márquelas con el atributo PtrSafe

ya pude solucionar el tema de PtrSafe, ahora me marca que no se ha definido Sub o Function; señalando en amarillo Private Sub Application_Startup() y señalando en azul GetSystemMetrics32, ahora si no me deja correr la macro, que hago?

Ya pude resolver el tema de arriba, ahora solo quiero las ventanas de inbox y task se abran de la siguinete manera (eliminando del codigo las ventanas calendario y contactos).


Task en mi pantalla secundaria (me gustaría saber como definir la posición de la pantalla que lo quiero y los pixeles) y el inbox en pantalla completa en mi monitor principal, me pueden ayudar?

Saludos!

Is there a way to make this open the windows in separate screens? I have 3 screens at my work, and I want to have my inbox open on screen 3, calendar to open on screen 2, and the tasks to open on screen 1, all maximised. Not fussed about the contacts page. Any advice on how to alter that would be appreciated. Currently they all open on the one screen, inbox maximised and calendar/tasks in smaller windows.

Hello, Chris,
May be the following VBA code can help you to solve your problem. Please try it.

Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetSystemMetrics32 Lib "User32" Alias "GetSystemMetrics" (ByVal xIndex As Long) As Long
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim xCalendar As Folder
Dim xTasks As Folder
Dim xContacts As Folder
Dim xInbox As Folder
Dim xExplorer As Outlook.Explorer
Dim xWidth As Integer, xHeight As Integer
On Error Resume Next
xWidth = GetSystemMetrics32(0)
xHeight = GetSystemMetrics32(1)
Set xInbox = Outlook.Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set Outlook.Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = xInbox
Set xExplorer = Application.ActiveExplorer
ExplorerDisplay xExplorer, 0
Set xCalendar = Outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)
xCalendar.Display
Set xExplorer = Application.ActiveExplorer
ExplorerDisplay xExplorer, xWidth
Set xTasks = Outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderTasks)
xTasks.Display
Set xExplorer = Application.ActiveExplorer
ExplorerDisplay xExplorer, (xExplorer.Width + 1) * -1
End Sub

Sub ExplorerDisplay(Exp As Explorer, ByVal L As Integer)
With Exp
.WindowState = olNormalWindow
.Top = 0
.Left = L
.WindowState = olMaximized
End With
End Sub
