I copy the program to use the outlook function in VC6 software. When I run the program, it can not get the pointer of the outlook. the error is :"CreateDispatch failed()w/error 0x800401f3". I don't know what mean by this and where I should put the exe file to run. There is the code below: _Application olApp; COleException e; if(!olApp.CreateDispatch("Outlook", &e)) { CString str; str.Format("CreateDispatch() failed w/error 0x%08lx", e.m_sc); AfxMessageBox(str, MB_SETFOREGROUND); return; } // Logon. Doesn't hurt if you are already running and logged on... _NameSpace olNs(olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")); COleVariant covOptional((long)DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND, VT_ERROR); olNs.Logon(covOptional, covOptional, covOptional, covOptional); // Create and open a new contact _ContactItem olItem(olApp.CreateItem(2)); // Setup Contact information... olItem.SetFullName("James Smith"); COleDateTime bdDate; bdDate.SetDate(1975, 9, 15); olItem.SetBirthday(bdDate); olItem.SetCompanyName("Microsoft"); olItem.SetHomeTelephoneNumber("704-555-8888"); olItem.SetEmail1Address("sakai111w@yahoo.com"); olItem.SetJobTitle("Developer"); olItem.SetHomeAddress("111 Main St.\nCharlotte, NC 28226"); // Save Contact olItem.Save(); // Create a new appointment _AppointmentItem olAppt(olApp.CreateItem(1)); // Schedule it for two minutes from now... COleDateTime apptDate = COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime(); olAppt.SetStart((DATE)apptDate + DATE(2.0/(24.0*60.0))); // Set other appointment info... olAppt.SetDuration(60); olAppt.SetSubject("Meeting to discuss plans..."); olAppt.SetBody("Meeting with James to discuss plans."); olAppt.SetLocation("Home Office"); olAppt.SetReminderMinutesBeforeStart(1); olAppt.SetReminderSet(TRUE); // Save Appointment olAppt.Save(); // Prepare a new mail message _MailItem olMail(olApp.CreateItem(0)); olMail.SetTo("someone@microsoft.com"); olMail.SetSubject("About our meeting..."); olMail.SetBody( "Hi James,\n\n" "\tI'll see you in two minutes for our meeting!\n\n" "Btw: I've added you to my contact list!"); // Send the message! olMail.Send(); AfxMessageBox("All done.", MB_SETFOREGROUND); olNs.Logoff();

Try if(!olApp.CreateDispatch(OLESTR("Outlook"), &e)) { Assuming .CreateDispatch doesn't require a CSLID (vs. a name).

Hi, When I try to compile the program, it give me the error. The error below: SendEmailView.cpp C:\Documents and Settings\Regina\Desktop\Ian\SendEmail\SendEmailView.cpp(97) : error C2664: 'int __thiscall COleDispatchDriver::CreateDispatch(const struct _GUID &,class COleException *)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'unsigned short [8]' to 'co nst struct _GUID &' Reason: cannot convert from 'unsigned short [8]' to 'const struct _GUID' No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous Error executing cl.exe. SendEmail.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) Thank you
