Hello Experts,
The following code snippet (I have not included the whole function) runs from MS Access to text if a user can get to their Outlook inbox. Works across any Access from 2003 to 2010 and with any Outlook from 2003 to 2010. Which version of Access are combined with which versions of Outllok alsodoen't seem to matter as long as references point to the right Outlook version. On one computer (of hundreds) which has Access 2003 and Outlook 2010 the code fails at the highlighted GetNamespace line. Any ideas?
