Hi Lee,
I believe the MAPI namespace only works if Outlook is configured for
CIW (Corporate Intranet/Workgroup?), not Internet Mail (or whatever the other
option is). Also, the MAPI namespace is a connection to an MS Exchange
Server, so a "partial" install of Outlook may not be enough to allow you to
use the MAPI namespace. Another possible cause of the problem: trying to get
to the namespace without an instance of the Outlook Application object. Try
this instead:

set myOutApp = GetObject("Outlook.Application")
set NS = myOutApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")

Using GetObject will allow you to use an existing instance of Outlook, if
there is one; otherwise it will create a new instance. If you prefer to
create a new instance anyway, change the first line to:
set myOutApp = new Outlook.Application

Hope this helps!

Can anyone point me in the direction as to why the following fails?

Set NS = Outlook.Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")

It is done on a server that only has outlook and exel installed (Excel is
the full instlal, outlook is only partially).
