Hi Carl,

You will need to qualify which interface the Send method should call. Change your code to the following:

Imports System
Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.Web.Mail
Imports System.Windows.Forms

Module ModEmail
    Public golapp As Outlook.Application
    Public golNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace

    Sub SendTheMail()

        Dim oApp As Outlook.Application
        Dim omail As Outlook._MailItem

        oApp = New Outlook.Application()
        omail = oApp.CType(CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem),Outlook._MailItem)
        omail.To = "Someone@abc.com"
        omail.Subject="Trying to send email"
        omail.Body="This is the body"
        omail.Send()
        omail = Nothing
        oApp = Nothing
    End Sub
End Module
