Outlook automation gives COMException Server execution failed

[Bassel Tabbara]

I wrote the following code:
oApp = new Outlook.Application();
oApp = new Outlook.Application();
oNameSpace= oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI");
oNameSpace.Logon(null,null,true,true);
//gets defaultfolder for my Outlook Outbox
oOutboxFolder =
oNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolde rs.olFolderOutbox);

But it won't work and it is giving me the following error:
Server Error in '/SendEmail' Application

Here is a nice little post
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...p04%26rnum%3D4
(watch for wraps) that shows how to setup so that you can use outlook in
ASP.NET

That might help.

Hi Girish,
Thanks for the tip. I was thinking in these terms but I don't like the fact
to use the System account. Can I use a different account who has enough
priviliges to access outlook?

Thanks,

Bassel
