I'm following the code here
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;313788 but this
build error in VS Studio .NET:

'Application' is ambiguous in the namespace 'Outlook'

The code is
Dim oApp As Outlook.Application = New Outlook.Application()

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brett

Because you are attempting dimension an existing object variable as an
outlook application and then trying to assign a new instance of an outlook
application to the same variable. Use this:
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Dim objOUApp As New Outlook.Application
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
