thanks for the post, i modified the code to work for me in Visual Basic .NET, e.g. :

    Private oApp As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application
    Private oMsg As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem
    Private oRecip As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Recipient
 
    Private Sub PrePrepareEmail()
        oMsg = oApp.CreateItem(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem)
        oRecip = oMsg.Recipients.Add("test@test.com")
        oRecip.Resolve()
        oMsg.Display(True)
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub WheneverLater()
        oApp = Nothing
        oMsg = Nothing
        oRecip = Nothing
    End Sub

Open in new window
