I am attempting to use the VBA Code Sample #40,
http://www.*-*-*.com/ #Code40.  I am using Office 97
SR-2 with Outlook 97 (8.04.8018)

When I open the template I receive an error that states:
Compile error:
Can't find project or library

Tools > References shows a MISSING: Outlook 98 Type Library at the Location:
*\OFFICE\msoutl85.olb.  When I browse the location to my nearest match at:
*\OFFICE\msoutl8.olb and save the template, upon opening the template, I get
a new error that states:
Error No: 438; Description: Object doesn't support this property or method

Both SR-1 and SR-2 have been installed on the computer, but I do not have
the file msoutl85.olb anywhere on the hard drive.  How can I get the VBA
Code Sample #40 to work?

Thank you,
Nick

I'm not sure what Helen has in her code sample, but it was set up for
Outlook 98 and that's the library that was referenced. The library you
replaced it with is for Outlook 97. Outlook 98 added a lot to the
object model so I'm sure it is something that isn't there in Outlook
97.

Outlook 98 is no longer available for updating to, except if you can
find a book that has the CD somewhere. Building Applications with
Outlook 98 from MS Press is one of the books that has that CD. Other
than that you could update to Outlook 2002, the current version.
However, that would be expensive.

You could also write to Helen and see what she has to say about that
code sample.
