GAL.ResolveName issue with REDEMPTION

Hi,

I have a Visual Basic application which uses REDEMPTION dll (ver 4.5.0.812).
This application updates appointments and tasks, to the EXCHANGE SERVER and
also sends a mail to the EXCHANGE USER, highlighting the changes to the
appointment and tasks. In one PC, the application creates the appointments
and tasks, but fails to send a mail to the receipient. Below is the function
where the execution fails. I feel the failure happens at the GAL.RESOLVENAME
command. Since, only the executable is installed in the PC where the problem
occurs, i am not able to point out which statement fails. Can somebody help
me, to get this issue resolved.

The error message, generated by the below function is

"Object variable or With block variable not set"

Private Function RecipientIsValid(session As Redemption.RDOSession,
RecipientUserId As String) As Boolean

On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Dim oMessage As RDOMail
Dim oRecipient As RDORecipient


Set oMessage = session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderOutbox).Items.Add
Set oRecipient = oMessage.Recipients.Add(RecipientUserId)
session.AddressBook.GAL.ResolveName (RecipientUserId)

CleanUp:
RecipientIsValid = True
Exit Function

ErrHandler:
If Err.Number = -2147219712 Then ' [Collaboration Data
Objects - [MAPI_E_AMBIGUOUS_RECIP(80040700)]]
GoTo CleanUp
Else
Debug.Print "RecipientIsValid"
Debug.Print Err.Description
End If

End Function

Thanks in advance
 
You might want to improve your error handling as a Debug.Print is useful
only the IDE. For instance, show a message box with the MsgBox function, or
write the error message into a file.

If that's done, you can see what the error message is; and if you use line
numbers and the Erl function, you can also see on which line the error
occurs.

The code snip as provided would not be the location where runtime Error 91 -
"Object variable or With block variable not set" is getting thrown. If it
occured anywhere within the 3 primary code lines - it would get trapped
by the error handler in that routine which in turn means that another
routine with no error handler is attempting to use an object that has not
been set (by your own description - you have no way of knowing for
sure where this error is coming from)

In addition to Michael's advice re: Error Handling - you would also be well
advised to check to see that any object being "Set" is actually created by
checking for "IF object IS NOTHING" (or any variation thereof) immediately
afterwards (i.e. after <Set oMessage> and <Set oRecipient>).

Hi,

I researched on the issue further and found that the application works fine
with OFFICE (OUTLOOK) versions 2002 and 2003. We tried with outlook 2002 and
2003, the application and GAL.RESOLVENAME functionality was working fine,
but, when the same application was executed with OFFICE (OUTLOOK) 2007, the
issue still persists. Can you suggest, why this problem is occuring and if
any, the resolution for the issue.

And as far as the DEBUG.PRINT is concerned, we have a custom built logging
function, to log the errors, which I had replaced in the code, with the
DEBUG.PRINT statements , to avoid confusions.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Don't have an answer as to why this would be specific to O'2007 other then
it possibly being related to the Redemption version in use.

Redemption 4.5.0.812 is a Dec'2007 release and the current public version
that's available for download is 4.7.0.1026 (Feb '2009). Doing a quick test
of your code snip using O'2007 with a current version of Redemption worked
exactly as expected with no error encountered resolving a valid Exch member
name so you may want to try this with an updated version of Redemption to
see if the problem persists.

Did you have a chance to try the debug version of the dll that I sent to
your private e-mail address?
