ActiveX component can't create object
 

Add an On Error Resume Next statement in the declarations section of your procedure, so that if GetObject() can't return it, the code can execute CreateObject.

I'm trying to send a message in Outlook that originates from a Word file
but
I get the message that "ActiveX component can't create object" on the
first
line of code from the following macro. (I am running Office 2003 and have
the
most recent Outlook, Office and ActiveX object library references
checked.)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am using this as a job
search tool.

Sub SendFile()
.

Dim OLI As Outlook.Inspector, strAccountBtnName As String, intLoc As
Integer, blnStarted As Boolean
Dim CBs As Office.CommandBars, CBP As Office.CommandBarPopup, MC As
Office.CommandBarControl
Const ID_ACCOUNTS = 31224
Dim objOutlookApp As Outlook.Application, objItem As Outlook.MailItem

.

Set objOutlookApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err 0 Then
Set objOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
blnStarted = True
End If

ActiveX component can't create object
 

Thanks, I followed your suggestion and it worked, but only when Outlook is
already open. Is that the way it should go? I thought that CreateObject was
supposed to open Outlook so the object could be created.

It won't if an anti-virus program is blocking Outlook scripting.
