MAPI.Session

[tjhalbert]

I am trying to run this code in an XP environment:

 

Set objSession = CreateObject("MAPI.Session")

 

but get the message:

Run time error 429

ActiveX component can't create object

 

The code ran fine previously in an NT envrionment, but now it fails. I have pointed to the CDO12.dll library, but to no avail.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The problem with the application not being able to instantiate the MAPI.SESSION is that I had to register the CDO.DLL module to XP. However, I encountered problems with the regsvr32 program, because the dll referenced the following two modules that were not in the system library:

 

gapi32.dll

efsadu.dll

 

I identified these references using the DependencyWalker utility. Once I downloaded the missing modulesinto my windows folder, the registration program ran sucessfully, and my application is now able to create the MAPI.SESSION object.
