Outlook object library

[djwatts]

Hi,

I've got a database that uses the outlook object to add calendar entries and send automated e-mails. This works fine in Access/Outlook 2003, however I need it to support Access/Outlook 2000 aswell.

In the project references I have the

Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library
Microsoft CDO 1.21 Library

Obviously these aren't supported in 2000 and the code halts as soon as the missing references can't be found. If I change the references to reflect the Office 2000 librarys I get the same problem in Office 2003.

Is there anyway to include support for both versions in the same database? I'm trying to avoid splitting the database into two different versions.

Thanks for your help people...

I must confess I haven't done any Outlook automation in years, but I think the same principles are involved - try using late binding.

I did a very quick net search, and came up with these, that hopefully can be a starting point.

Thanks for the help, its the late binding that I needed to get it working.
