Help with calling Outlook

[Brett]

When I run this line:

myolApp = CreateObject("O utlook.Applicat ion")

The myolApp object has a value of {Outlook.Applic ationClass}. When I expand
it in the watch window, all properties/methods of that object have a value
of
<error: an exception of type: {System.Invalid CastException} occured>

I'm referencing the Outlook 10.0 Object Library (Interop.Outloo k), which
list the version as 9.1 in the properties window. The
Interop.Microso ft.Office.Core 2.2 reference is also there.

Does any one know what causing this error and a possible solution?

Using VB .NET 2003 with .NET 1.1 framework.

Thanks,
Brett

Declare it this way instead & see if you still get the same error making sure
you have the Outlook 10 Object Library referenced:

Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Applica tion = New Outlook.Applica tion()

I hope this helps.

I'm including Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Outlo ok as a reference now, just as
the article uses but still get the invalidcast error.

I tried that but still get the same invalidcast error.

Any other suggestions?
