Hi

My workplace have updated our microsoft version and we have now moved to 2015 however outlook is still on 2013

Now in the tools Ref - I cant find the option for outlook 2013 and only have 2015 so with this line of code

Dim outapp as object
Set outapp = createobject("outlook.application")

I am getting an application error. How can i get round this?

This needs to be moved into Excel

This needs to be moved into Excel

There definately is no reference to the old outlook. How can i browse through the tool ref and add/find the old outlook ref?

It may not be there anymore - don't see why you'd need it since it would be backwards compatible.
Did you set the reference to what you have or not?
Reference not set (late binding)
Dim outapp as object
Set outapp = createobject("outlook.application")

Reference set (early binding)
Dim outapp as object
Set outapp = createobject New Outlook.Application

Hi, ive tried all that but it keeps saying active x could not create object

The only way I can think of to get it back is to ask your admin to reinstall it as it is likely gone from your system. For 2007, it's MSOUTL.OLB.
However, this can also be caused by the library not being registerd, or you don't have the necessary permissions. As noted, new versions are usually backwards compatible, so I'd lean toward thinking there is another issue at play.
