The dreaded - A problem occurred while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE server or Act

[TOPSie]

I have a working application which interacts with Outlook. I have a totally separate application which I am updating to also interact with Outlook
In the new application I have created a blank form with a single button. The code behind that button is

Private Sub cmdEmail_Click()
  Dim OutMail As Object
  Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
End Sub

When I click the button I get the dreaded error.
I have matched the references of the new app with all the references in the old working appm - and both apps are on the same machine (so same versions of Access, Office etc etc)

For starters, you're setting a different variable than you declare.

Ooops - tried so many things before I posted but even if I get the naming right it still fails, so sorry not that easy :-(

Hi
Usually find that if you create a new Blank database and then do an Import of your latest database.
Then do a Compact & Repair
Usually fixes this

Are you sure the references are EXACTLY the same?
