    @Tom,

    While I agree one should use the lowest version the Users have to develop in.  And I also see your point about intellisense, however, I have seen cases where the preset Reference causing an issue if the User had a different version of Office installed.

    @Gina: I'm not sure I agree. Per best practices the app should be developed in the lowest version of Access (Office) that users may have. References to Outlook and other Office components will then automatically be adjusted (even in ACCDE) if the solution is opened in a higher version.

    Early binding gives you the distinct advantage of intellisense and syntax checking at compile time.

    Hmm, seems like you are using Early Binding which means you must set the Reference to Outlook under Tools > References in the VB Editor.  That said, it would be better to use Late Binding so that your database will work with the version of Outlook loaded.  You can read more about that here...
