Hi,

I don't do much of this controlling one thing from another, but wouldn't
this work:

objExcelSheet.NomBenef.Text = Item.LastName
objExcelSheet.PrenomBenef.Text = Item.FirstName

You might try just swapping .Value for .Text in your original code, that may
work too.

Hi !

I'm trying to copy data from an outlook form into an excel active x
control.
I have a solution that allows me to write into an Excel Cell, which I
probably could get linked with the active x control, thus avoiding to have
to
write directly into the control, but for some reason, i need to avoid
that.

Please find my code below and tell me if you see any reason why it does
nothing.
I may not use the proper object to manipulate the active x control on the
excel sheet.
Or is it that there's no way to manipulate those control from outside
Excel ?

Sub exportVersExcel_Click() 'vbs script on an outlook form

' creating object :
Set objExcelApp = Item.Application.CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcelApp.Workbooks.Open
"\\Server03\Annuaire\Demande_Ouverture_Compte.xls" )
Set objExcelBook = objExcelApp.ActiveWorkbook
Set objExcelSheets = objExcelBook.Worksheets
Set objExcelSheet = objExcelBook.Sheets("DemandeOuverture")
objExcelSheet.Activate

' The two following lines will work :
objExcelSheet.range("J12").value = Item.LastName
objExcelSheet.range("J14").value = Item.FirstName

'Those two ones would work within excel, but don't seem to work in
automation :
objExcelSheet.OLEObjects("TextBox_NomBenef").Objec t.value = Item.LastName
objExcelSheet.OLEObjects("TextBox_PrenomBenef").Ob ject.value =
Item.FirstName

THANK YOU for reading me, hope you'll come up with a bright idea
