Hi, Gerard,

Check out Message #738292 - it has an example of automating Outlook.

You might also want to do some searches on MSDN for keywords 'VB.NET, Outlook, etc,'

I generally recommend VB.NET over C# for Office Automation. I've done Office Automation with Excel and Word, and it is much simpler with VB.NET. While most of my apps are in C#, I have a few separate project DLLs in VB.NET to specifically deal with Office.

Let me know if that helps...
Kevin
