Hi everybody, I have a problem with instantiating the Outlook application. Following is the listing of the external method I am using: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ import win32com.client import pythoncom def sendEmail(): loadcomclient = 'false' loadpycom = 'false' if win32com.client: loadcomclient = 'true' if pythoncom: loadpycom = 'true' if((loadcomclient == 'false') or (loadpycom == 'false')): return 'Loaded win32com.client: ' + loadcomclient + '\r\n Loaded pythoncom: ' + loadpycom #try: pythoncom.CoInitialize() oOutlookApp = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Outlook.Application") #oWordApp = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Word.Application") return "Successfully loaded Outlook! \r\n" #except: #return "MSOutlook: unable to load Outlook" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ This is the error message I receive: Error Type: com_error Error Value: (-2146959355, 'Server execution failed', None, None) If try to connect to "Word.Application" everything works fine. If I execute this script outside of ZOPE then I get a connection to Outlook. Can anybody please tell me what I am missing? Thanks in advance. Metin Deniz
