Missing Object Library in Access 2000

[MartyBoy]

Me again
My client uses Access 2000 to run a database I first developed in Access 2000, then created modifications in Access 2003. Although the database has been retained in Access 2000 format, when an Access Visual Basic function runs that opens Outlook on my client's network, I get an error "Missing Object Library". On checking Tools/References I have found "Missing: Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library". I tried installing the Object Library (MSOUTL.OLB) in the \office folder, and selected it under Tools\References and moved it near to the top of the list. Now I get "Error in loading dll".
I have searched MS KB and MSDN etc and can't find any reference to this particular error. The database runs fine under Access 2003. This problem isn't mentioned in Access 2003 under conversion issues etc, and I am stuck.
Any ideas please?

Missing: Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library
Reference the Microsoft Outlook x.0 Object Library that is present in this PC.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Is your client running Office 2000 while you are running Office 2003? If so, then your problem is that you are doing "Early Binding". this menas referencing the object before you know wha the object is.

Change your method of opening Outlook. Use the CreateObject metod instead of new object. Then you will use whatever version is resident on whatever machine opens the application.

Good luck.
