The <b class="bterm">ExternalApplication</b> object implements a limited set of methods that can be used for automating InfoPath by an external Component Object Model (COM)–based programming language.</p><h2>Remarks</h2><p>The <b class="bterm">ExternalApplication</b> object can be used to perform a limited set of InfoPath operations such as creating, opening, or closing a <a href="#" class="glossary" onclick="AppendPopup(this,'xdform')" onkeypress="AppendPopup(this,'xdform')">form</a>; registering or unregistering a <a href="#" class="glossary" onclick="AppendPopup(this,'xdformtemplate')" onkeypress="AppendPopup(this,'xdformtemplate')">form template</a>; or simply quitting the application.</p><h2>Using the ExternalApplication object</h2><p>To use the <b class="bterm">ExternalApplication</b> object, you must first create a reference to it using the ProgID of the InfoPath object model along with the name of the <b class="bterm">ExternalApplication</b> object. The following example demonstrates creating a reference to the <b class="bterm">ExternalApplication</b> object using the <a href="#" class="glossary" onclick="AppendPopup(this,'ofVBA')" onkeypress="AppendPopup(this,'ofVBA')">Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)</a> programming language:</p><pre><code>Dim objIP As Object
Set objIP = CreateObject("InfoPath.ExternalApplication")</code></pre><p><b>Note</b> This example uses late-binding for creating the reference to the <b class="bterm">ExternalApplication</b> object; you can also use early-binding by setting a reference to the InfoPath object model in your programming environment.</p><p>After you have created a reference to the <b class="bterm">ExternalApplication</b> object, you can then use the methods that it provides to interact with InfoPath. In the following example, written in VBA, the <b class="bterm"><a href="xdmthOpen_1.htm" id="HV01036666" lcid=" ">Open</a></b> method of the <b class="bterm">ExternalApplication</b> object is used to open a form based on the specified <a href="#" class="glossary" onclick="AppendPopup(this,'ofuniformresourceidentifieruri')" onkeypress="AppendPopup(this,'ofuniformresourceidentifieruri')">Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)</a>:</p><pre><code>Public Sub OpenForm()
Dim objIP As Object
'Create the ExternalApplication object and open a specified form.
Set objIP = CreateObject("InfoPath.ExternalApplication")
objIP.Open ("C:\My Forms\Form1.xml")
Set objIP = Nothing
End Sub
</code></pre><p>For more information about using the <b class="bterm">ExternalApplication</b> object, see <a href="inconAutomatingIP.htm" id="HV01039915" lcid=" ">Automating InfoPath</a>.</p><script type="text/javascript" language="JScript" src="ofvbanl.js"></script><span id="ofVBAISpan" class="ofvbaispan"><iframe id="ofVBAIFrame" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="4" scrolling="auto" width="100%" src="../links/xdobjExternalApplication_l.htm"></iframe></span><center><a href="XMLSchemaCopyright_HV01147162.htm">©2003-2004 Microsoft Corporation.
