REALLY NEED HELP! Outlook object model and VB.NET acting funny

[Elliot Rodriguez]

I have a VB.NET project that uses the Outlook object model. On a development
machine, all my references are added, everything tests great, and I have now
moved the project to another staging machine, which has caused numerous
errors to be thrown.

For the objects Outlook. Recipients, Folders, Items, and Attachments, I am
getting compiler errors such as this:

"Expression is of type 'Outlook.Recipients', which is not a collection
type."

Of COURSE it is! This no longer works (worked on my test machine):

for each objRecip in objMailItem.Recipients
objRecip.Resolve()
next

What happened?

Outlook has to be installed on the staging machine, and your project has to
have a reference set to the outlook OOM that exists there.

Hollis:

Thanks for the reply. Outlook is installed on the staging machine.

I got it to work by changing the code to this (VB)

dim objRecipients as Collection = objMailItem.Recipients

for each objRecip in objRecipients

any idea why this works?
