Setting up a new email from within an access application

[Guest_imported]

I'm developing a microsoft access 2000 application on the windows 2000 professional platform. I have loaded the recipient's mail adres in a variable. In order to generate a new mail, I have referenced the Microsoft Outlook 9.0 object library to my application. The thing is, when i declare a variable in the Microsoft Visual Basic code window like folows:

<code>
dim NewApp as new Outlook.Application
</code>

When i type the previous line, and want to leave the line in order to let the compiler interpret it, my microsoft access hangs. The processer just jumps to full load and nothing happens further.

Any ideas?

thx
