[Zope] Zope, COM and Outlook

[Igor Leturia]

I tried your suggestion, but this time it says "Error Type: com_error,
Error Value: (-2146959355, 'Error en la ejecuci\xf3n de servidor', None,
None)" (in English it would be something like "Error executing server").
The traceback is the same as before.
