Microsoft Outlook interop throws COMException (0x84130003)

Question

I can't seem to find a thing on what this exception code indicates on Google or MSDN, and it's occurring intermittently and without a pattern I can discern. Has anyone run across this before? The failure seems to occur on the final line here:

Dim olApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim olNS As Outlook.NameSpace = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem = olApp.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem)

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Looks like you haven't created your olApp object.

Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
