Opening Outlook with vbscript

[emozley]

Hi,

I am trying to write a vbscript that opens Outlook on my PC, creates a message and then sends it. For some reason although the Outlook process is open I can't see Outlook on my screen.

The script also generates a word document and with this I was able to use the code:

Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = True

However when I try

Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
objOutlook.Visible = True

I get the error:

Object doesn't support this property or method: 'objOutlook.Visible'

Try something like:

Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objNamespace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
objNamespace.Logon "Default Outlook Profile",, False, True    
Set objFolder = objNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
objFolder.Display
