Creating an Outlook MailItem when Outlook hasn't been opened

[WhytheQ]

This is a mystery to me!

If I run the below code from an Excel module when Outlook is shut it
throws a error:
"Run-time error' '-214787037 (80030003)' Internal application error"

Dim OutApp2 As Object
Dim OutMail2 As Object

On Error Resume Next
Set OutApp2 = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err.Number = 429 Then
Set OutApp2 = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
End If
On Error GoTo 0

Set OutMail2 = OutApp2.CreateItem(0)

If I run the above but replace the last line with the following:
Set OutMail2 =
OutApp2.CreateItemFromTemplate("InsertPathwayToTemplate.msg")
......then everything is ok.

Anybody seen this before?
Any help greatly appreciated

See adding the following code after CreateObject() will help:

set NS = OutApp2.GetNamespace("MAPI")
NS.Logon
