Open Outlook's inbox with VBA

[CES]

All,
I'm trying to open Outlook 2007 (Vista) using VBA but unfortunately I can't seem to get it to work. I have found different variations of the following:

Dim Olook As Outlook.Application
Set Olook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Olook.Application.Visible = True

but when I attempt to run the code I get a VB compile error: "user defined type not defined."

Basically what I want to do is to open Outlook and go to the inbox. If anyone can help me with this I would be grateful, Thanks in advance. - CES

The error occurs because Outlook is unknown to you project. Add a reference
to its library.

To make Outlook visible, add an Explorer to its Explorers collection.

Michael,
I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you mean when you y "Add a references to it's library... could you possible point me to a simple example of how to open Outlook from Any Office 2007 application. Thanks - CES
