Outlook Upgrade Problems

[majsparky]

Our company is gong through an MS Outlook upgrade. I have a MS Access 97 application that sends out automatic e-mails through MS Outlook. I have referenced Microsoft Outlook 10.0 object library and everything works fine. The problem occurs on the machines that are updated to a newer version of OutLook. The application no longer recognizes some functions such as environ() or Date in VB Code. When I go into the references on the Outlook updated machines the reference has been changed to Microsoft Outlook 11.0 object library. When I clear the reference, the application works fine again, as far as the functions are concerned. But, of course, the e-mail routine no longer works. Is there any type of work around so that all machines can use the same application or do I need to make a separate application for the upgraded machines?

Thanks for any information on this.

For anyone that has the same problem, I found a workaround. I got the file "msoutl.olb" for the Microsoft Outlook 10.0 object library and put in on the updated computers (under the correct path) and then went into the application and "registered" it in the reference section (using the browse button). All appears well and good again, except it will need to be done on every computer where Outlook is updated. I am going to check with the IP people to see if they can leave the old Outlook file behind when upgrading. If anyone has a better solution, I am still in the market.
