Outlook interop not available

[Phil]

Hi,

I'm trying to write a simple application in VB.Net 2003 to retrieve
information from a contact item in an arbitrary folder (ie not the default)
in Outlook 2003.

All the sample code I can find tells me to add a reference to the Outlook 11
COM object, which I've done.

It then says that I should include the line
Imports Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook
However, when I use intellisense it shows that the only option avalable for
Microsoft.Office is .Core.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Phil Haddock

Hi,

Not sure what article you used. This works with outlook 2003.

Phil,
In addition to Ken's comment.

For a number of resources on using Outlook from .NET see:
http://www.microeye.com/resources/res_outlookvsnet.htm

It sounds like the PIA was not loaded under Office Setup. Double check
Office/Outlook setup to be certain that your PIAs were selected to be
installed.

Hope this helps
