Object Libraries in Outlook
-
I have just developed a VB application that will be using Outlook to send email to some other people as part of a process. I have developed my application on a PC that has Outlook2000 which has 9.0 Object library installed with it. However, this application is required to run on different PCs that have different versions of Outlook. This means that it may not see some objects in the library depending on which version of Outlook is installed. How can I overcome this problem in my code before it actually goes live? Thanks for any help:((

VB6 or .NET? What is your deployment method (PC install, server install, web, etc.)?

Built using VB6 and will be deployed through PC Install on users systems. Users are not on a network. They require the system to send returns to the main office. :((
If you use the "Package and Deployment Wizard" that comes with Visual Basic to build you setup program, the Microsoft Outlook 9.0 Object Library (MSOUTL9.OLB) should be included in the installation. Because Microsoft generally names each version of there libraries and dlls differently, you shouldn't have any trouble breaking any other application by installing MSOUTL9.OLB. Additionally, you can specify that the MSOUTL9.OLB file be installed in your application directory as opposed to the Windows System directory. Disclaimer...I have not tested this...so you should obviously test it first. Good luck.
