Microsoft Outlook 9.0 Object Library

I have created some code that uses the above reference library in order to use Outlook to send e-mails with DB related attachments. These all work completely fine in Outlook, but some of my users may be using Outlook Express. Does anyone know whether the standard commands still work in Outlook Express? I can't test this myself as I only have Outlook. It's not a disaster if not (they'll just have to upgrade), but it'd be good to know either way so I can code for potential errors.

Many thanks in advance,

Simon

It won't work. Outlook Express doesn't support automation and if it did it
wouldn't be the same as Outlook anyway.

You really should look into using late binding. This uses the same code
with a few minor changes and does NOT require that you set a reference.
The BIG advantage is that you make your code non-version dependent. That
way your users could use any version of Outlook instead of forcing them to
have version 9.0.
