I am using Access 97 and there is an error when I try and compile on this code definition:
"Dim ol As New Outlook.Application"

The error is:
"Compile Error: User defined-type not defined"


Does this mean I don't have the required references or libraries to use Outlook? Or is it because I'm using Outlook2000 as opposed to Outlook97?

What is the purpose of using the Outlook in MSAccess 97 ?

To create and send emails from Access.

Go to http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=52711 and see my reply. This will help you write a line of statement codes that send an email from MS Access. If you 're still not sure, reply me again for further details.
