Error Using Outlook in VB.Net
I have code that was working until about three days ago.
Code:
Public Function Email(ByVal strTo As String, ByVal strSubject As String, _
ByVal strBody As String, Optional ByVal strCC As String = "", Optional ByVal strAttachment As String = "", _
Optional ByVal fDeliveryReq As Boolean = False, Optional ByVal fReadRecpt As Boolean = False) As Boolean
Email = False
Dim olMailItem As Int16, olImportanceHigh As Int16
olMailItem = 0
olImportanceHigh = 2
' set the initial state of the function
Email = False
Dim outl As New Outlook.Application, intI As Integer
' create an email item
Dim outMsg As Outlook.MailItem
outMsg = outl.CreateItem(olMailItem
With outMsg
' set the message parts
.To = strTo
.Subject = strSubject
.Body = strBody
.CC = strCC
.Importance = olImportanceHigh
.OriginatorDeliveryReportR
.ReadReceiptRequested = fReadRecpt
' send the message
.Send()
' set the final state of the function
Email = True
End With
End Function
End Module
When this code is run, it errors at "Dim outl As New Outlook.Application" with this error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropSer
Additional information: The RPC server is unavailable.
I am using VB.Net in Visual Stuio 2003. I have a reference to the Microsoft Outlook 9.0 Object Library.
Again, this code worked perfectly until recently.
What is causing this error?

I didn't. And our corporate IT has not anounced any.
1) What is the application context for that method? Where it called from? How many times is it called?
2) Are you having problems with the first time or any subsequent call?

Hi Bob,
It is called from the Main procedure when a Try (checking a database on a server) fails and the method is is called from the Catch. It will only be called once in any run of the console application, which runs once every two minutes.
