Hotfix OUTLOOKff interfering with working code.

[jason.mawdsley]

Ever since I installed the OUTLOOKff hotifix, the custom plugin we are
developing no longer works.

Outlook version : 2003 (11.8002.6568) SP2

The following code now causes a crash on startup.
hr = namspace->GetDefaultFolder( Outlook:lFolderContacts,
&contactsFolder );

This code used to work perfectly pre-installation of the afore
mentioned hotfix.

Does anyone know what to do to fix this?

TIA,
Jason

Please be specific about which hotfix you installed. Outlookff is a generic name for the fullfile version of an update.

KB892843. (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892843)

Which shows in Add/Remove as two seperate updates, OUTLOOKff/OLKINTLff.
Removing the one for OUTLOOKff solves the issue.

TIA,
