It is very strange Sean.

I see this problem a few years now in the newsgroup.(never have the problem myself)
Maybe it is update that change the Win.ini file

Have you more then one Office version on your machine ?
Installed new programs lately ?

I really like to know why the ini file changed.

Excel 2003 and up not use the win.ini file anymore

I have the following piece of code received from Ron deBruin which all
of a sudden is hitting debug on this line

Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

I'm not sure why this is now happening, when it has worked over the
last 9 months. I'm working Office XP and Win Xp. Outlook is my default
mail application. Debug message states "Run time error '-2147467259
(80004005)': Automation error, unspecified Error"

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks Ron, I've just got it to work. On the WIN.ini file "MAPIX=1"
was in the file but not below "MAIL" - I assume that it must be placed
just below it, as per your web info, although I don't know why the
WINI.ini file would change in the first instance

Thanks again
