If you need your solution to run in a service (IIS), switching to CDO 1.21
or a custom library that uses Extended MAPI (such as Redemption or write
your own) is the only solution. Even if you make OOM work in a service, it
will break at the worst moment
If you do need to use OOM in your code, do not run it as a service :-)

Thank you for the info. Doesn't help me solve this problem though.

ASP.NET 2003, web application (VB), XP, Outlook 2002 - wrote short app
to
loop through outlook folder, parse mail item body for http URLs to
image
files, use system.net.webclient downloadfile to grab the image and save
to
folder on PC. No exchange server. App was working fine. Added
additional
items to parse in the mail item body. From one compile/run to the next,
started getting a FileNotFoundException error on the MyApp = new
Outlook.Application line. I've checked what security settings I can
find
in
MSDN, google that seem to apply, verified the outlook.dll is in the bin
file,
cleaned out the vb web cache in the framework 1.1 folder. I'm at a loss
as
to
what to try next. I really need to automate this since upwards of 100
images
each day need to be saved to disk and doing this manually is too time
consuming. Any ideas or suggestions?

tia,
Sue
