open message in web browser

[PJB]

I have closely followed the creation instructions from "how-to-outlook' in
order to view gif animations in Outlook 7. However when running it I get the
following error message, marked by me between brackets (THIS IS THE ERROR) in
the complete VB-script. What is wrong/have I done wrong? I use windows 7
64-bit.
Any suggestions please!
