Reference to Outlook

[Thor]

Hello,

I have made an application where I send Outlook e-mail via Excel. Since
I don't know what version of Excel the user has I need a way to find the
correct reference to the MS object library.

I have seen a reference to a general "obl" that works regardless of
Outlookversion. Does anybody know where I can find it?

How can I check what mailprogram the user is running as standard,
Outlook or Outlook Express? Depending of answer I will use different
code to send mail. If the user is running a mailprogram other than MS I
would like to end the process with a message to the user.

Thanks in advance

BTW, this forum is specific for questions related to custom Outlook forms...

Your best bet is to develop your solution using the Simple MAPI library.
This way you can automate any MAPI-compliant e-mail application (Outlook,
Outlook Express, Eudora, etc.) that is installed on the system.
