Outlook.Application not defined

I have Microsofr Office Professional Plus 2010 version 14.0.6029.1 installed. I have the following reference in a VB project:

Microsoft.Office.Enterop.Outlook

The type is .NET and the version id 14.0.0.0

My code includes the following:

Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application

the following error appears:

"Error 14 Type 'Outlook.Application' is not defined. "

I'm stumped.

I'm in the process of upgrading several projects from XP to Win7 as well, and I ran into this problem a few weeks back.

Try this,

Go to Project Properties -> References -> Add -> Click COM Tab -> Scroll down to either "Microsoft Outlook 14.0 Object Library" or "Microsoft Office 14.0 Object Library". (Pretty sure it needs to be the Outlook one).

In my solution, when I right click on Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application and go to definition, it is a member of Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, which comes from the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook DLL

This worked for me, so I hope it helps you.

Is there a namespace conflict with Outlook that the code is perhaps trying to reference a different object?

Try aliasing your Imports directive:

Imports Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Enterop.Outlook

This should explicitly tell your code (specifically your Dim statement) to use that namespace instead of any other implied Outlook namespace.
