Hi!

I have office 2000 installed on my machine but not Outlook 2000. I do
have outlook express 6 installed on my machine.

I have created a dll to send Email using Outlook 2000 COM object
(reference to MSOUTL9.olb from VB). I cannot remember what options I
had chosen when I installed office 2000.

This dll works fine on my machine. But fails to create outlook object
on another machine which also has outlook express installed but not
office. It gives ActiveX component can't create object error.

When I created set up programme for my dll it had MSOUT9.olb file
which is now present on my test machine. But it still fails to create
object.

Can anyone tell me what is missing and how can I get this working?

Thanks in advance.

Outlook object model code can only run if Outlook is installed and you
are not legally permitted to redistribute the Outlook libraries. The
user must install Outlook. You wouldn't even have that library
installed on your computer without Outlook having been installed.

Outlook Express exposes no object model for coding, only Simple MAPI.
