When I try to place a call to someone in my list of contacts I receive the following error message:

OLE lDispatch exception code 0 from Skype4COM.Skype.1: connection refused

oCall = oSkype.PlaceCall(oUser.Handle)

I'm able to instantiate the object and check some things (Offline, online, busy...) but I can't do much besides that.

So a big problem to start with. But the thing that I want to do is to call a phone number from skype and that phone number is not for one of my skype contacts. Can this be done?
