Trying to run this macro to save Outlook mailbox folder list - but it doesn't work

[Hubert]

I found this code on the net. It suppose to copy a user mailbox folder list
to a .txt file( the one you see in the left pane ). When I run it, i get an
error :

"Runtime error 429: ActiveX component cannot create object "
and " Set objCDO = CreateObject("MAPI.Session") " is highlighted in yellow.
Can anyone see why i get this error. Maybe there is a simpler way to save
Outlook mail folder list to a file. btw, i'm running this off Outlook 2007
in the exchange setup. Any tips/advice would be appreciated.



Dim objFile As Object

Sub EnumerateOutlookFolderStructure()
Dim objCDO As Object, _
objStore As Object, _
objFSO As Object, _
olkFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Change the file name and path on the follwoing line as desired
Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("C:\Outlook.txt", True)
Set objCDO = CreateObject("MAPI.Session")
'Change the profile name as needed
objCDO.Logon "new"
For Each objStore In objCDO.InfoStores
objFile.WriteLine objStore.Name
Set olkFolder = OpenMAPIFolder("\" & objStore.Name)
EnumerateSubFolders olkFolder, 1
Next
objCDO.Logoff
Set objCDO = Nothing
Set objStore = Nothing
Set objFSO = Nothing
Set olkFolder = Nothing
objFile.Close
Set objFile = Nothing
MsgBox "All done!"
End Sub

Sub EnumerateSubFolders(olkFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder, intLevel As
Integer)
Dim olkSubFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
For Each olkSubFolder In olkFolder.Folders
objFile.WriteLine Space(intLevel * 2) & olkSubFolder.Name
EnumerateSubFolders olkSubFolder, intLevel + 1
Next
Set olkSubFolder = Nothing
End Sub

Looks like you need to install CDO onto your machine, you can get it form
here:-

Thanks Alan & Michael, your suggestion enabled me to pass the initial error
but now i get this error:

"Run -time error:
Could not open the item. Try again "

And the following line is highlighted in Debug :

"For Each olkSubFolder In olkFolder.Folders"

If you debug the error can you find out which folder it is trying to iterate
through? I would think that you don't have permission to access a folder
somewhere along the lines.

The macro actually works :
Now in XP pro, when i run the code, I still get the error but the
outlook.txt file is populated with the outlook folders ( despite the
errror )
In Vista Business, the code works w/ no issues so i'm not sure what gives ??
The only thing is that one needs to be loged in as administrator for the
code to work otherwise the "permission denied" error pops out. Thank you
Alan for your help..
