I have tried to instantiate the outlook application / outlook express
oOutLookObject = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
I get an error message saying that the class definition is not found.
How can I create the definition? Is it documented somewhere? Can it be downloaded?
Is there a common method of accessing email applications. I'm trying not to hard code the app, but if that is the only way , then I guess I will so it will be functional.

Any help on this would be great.
I can do the following to control Microsoft Word.
oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oWordApp.Visible = .t.
oWordApp.Quit()
oWordApp=.Null.

My thanks to Barbara for jump starting me on this. I didn;t think I would stall out so quickly.
