Sending emails with outlook






I am having trouble getting the sample code provided for outlook.js to work. I keep getting the exception  "unable to initialize outlook" . I have office 2007 installed and as soon as i run the script outlook seems to be loading on the task bar but execution stops. Does anyone have the sample script working for them ?

Thanks

    Hi Kenneth,





    As I understand, you're talking about the sample shipped with TestComplete. If so, try changing the following code in the script file:



    try

    {

      MsOutlook = Sys.OleObject("Outlook.Application");

    }

    catch(exception)

    {

      MsOutlook = Sys.OleObject("Outlook.Application.11"); // <== Use "Outlook.Application.12" instead of "Outlook.Application.11" here

    }







    Does this help?

    Hi Allen

    I still get the same message

    "Unable to initialize MS Outlook"

    "Unable to initialize MS Outlook or its Folders"

    Hi Kenneth,





    It looks as if the Outlook COM object is not registered properly in your system. Please run regedit.exe via Start | Run... and let me know the value of your HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Outlook.Application\CurVer\ registry key.

    Hi, got it to work. All i needed to do was change to the correct folder on my outlook

    From this

    ContactFldr = NS.Folders("Public Folders").Folders("Contacts"); // Original code

    To This

    ContactFldr = NS.Folders("Mailbox - Kenneth Rock").Folders("Contacts"); // Working code
