Detect Outlook

[cslawtom]

I would like to check whether the Outlook existed or not before doing this - oOutlook=CreateObject("outlook.application&quot
Is there any way to do so?

Many thanks in advance

I would search in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Outlook Express

satyenshanker Just to correct one thing, the path for Outlook is more like:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook

You could look at the "solutions" a the registry access to check if outlook is in fact on the user's machine.

Or
You could trap the error if it's not there:

ONERROR do noOutlook
oOutLook =CREATEOBJECT("Outlook.application")

PROCEDURE noOutlook
 messagebox("Outlook is not installed on this computer")
ENPROC
