Can't connect to Outlook 2007
In my organization we are shifting mail platform from Lotus Notes to Outlook 2007. Because of that, I I need to create calendar appointments in Outlook that were previously created in Lotus Notes.
I am trying to run a VB Script file (.vbs file) with the following code line:
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Appl
When I run it, I get the following error on that line:
ActiveX can't create object: 'Outlook.Application'
I get a similar error when I try to connect directly from Lotus Notes 7.0.3 (in LotusScript, which is similar to Visual Basic) with the line:
Set appOutl = CreateObject("Outlook.Appl
Then I get the error:
"Cannot create automation object"
So, it seems to me, that there is some setup or configuration that I need to do to make this work. Any suggestions?

We are planning to still use the Notes client for applications. That's why we need the buttons inside Domino applications that create Notes appointments to create Outlook appointments. We ARE using a conversion tool to convert existing mails and calendar appointments, but I am talking about new appointments created in Domino applications. We don't want to start up a conversion tool every time a user clicks on a Create Appointment button in this application. There are also other areas where we need to access Outlook from other applications, but it's not working.

We have an Exchange Server running.
I have done a reinstall of Office 2007 and now I can actually create an appointment from within Notes. So far, so good! But now I get an "Automation object error" in Notes after creating the appointment in Outlook. I will post an update on monday after looking more into this.

If you have Exchange and Domino running, also in the future, you could try to create appointments in the Notes environment and let the Calendar Connector do its job.
Have a nice weekend!

We are not planning to continue with Domino mail files on the server, and I think that would be necessary to use the Calendar Connector.
Anyway, it worked after the reinstall, so I'll accept that as a solution.
Thanks for helping me.

By the way, what a pity you're moving to Outlook, now there's R8... But if you use only mail on Domino, and no applications, I can understand... Still...
