Set NS = Application.GetObject("Outlook.Application").GetNa mespace("MAPI")

Would be more what your are looking for. This would require Outlook to be
running at the time.

If it isn't running, use CreateObject instead. See VBA help on GetObject
and CreateObject for examples and explanations.

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).
