You need to import MSO.dll, VB6EXT.olb and MSOUTL.olb. They're in the office installation directory.

If you want an add-in, you have a template in visual studio in "other project types"->"Extensibility"->"Shared Add-in".

There you can choose a template for outlook add-in in C++. Notice that there is no difference between the application you choose to make add-in, it just tells visual studio to which application they should execute during debug, and to which application they should register the add-in for you.

Once you create and add-in template you can get an IDispatch* to the outlook application object. The application object is declared in MSOUTL.olb.

Hope it helps! :-)

You're using Visual Studio 2008. MFC 7.1 is "outdated" for you. The version you've got (and you should use) is 9.0. As such you'll have to try to link to mfc90.lib instead. I'm not sure whether further code adjustments are needed, just be prepared the code won't necessarily work out of the box.
