I took a look at some OLD code that I used to access outlook/exchange.. It looks like I never actually uses Outlook.Application. Instead I used cdo and used makepy.py to generate a cdo.py file. From there I followed the Microsoft documentation at msdn IIRC. On Thu, 2003-06-26 at 03:29, Deniz, Metin wrote:

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.
