Outlook VBA text functions

[Guest]

I am getting an error message "Cant find project or library" when I try to
use text functions (specifically Format(date), Left(string)) in my Outlook
code. I know its crazy, but can anyone tell me what reference I may be
missing?

Thanks

The missing module would be "Visual Basic For Applications". Strange that
you don't have it set; it should be there by default.

I've seen this happen occasionally. Usually restarting Outlook cures it

Thanks for the advice folks. It turns out that I have a reference to "Visual
Basic for Applications", and restarting Outlook didn't help I'm afraid. Maybe
the dll is corrupted. Do you know where I could download a copy from?

Can you test just those functions only, without any Outlook objects, in the
Word or Excel VBA Editors?

If VBA isn't working their either, try uninstalling and reinstalling Visual
Basic For Applications under Office Shared Features in the Office setup
wizard.

Yes I had a bitof a play and discovered it was only a problem in the "This
Outlook Session" module. I copied my code to another module and it works
fine. I don't have any reason to keep the code in This Outlook Session, so
I'm perfectly happy now, though I still don't really understand what happened.

Thanks for your help guys.
