Hi @John Tweedle ,

According to the error message you provided, you could try the following methods:

1.If your MS Outlook is running in compatibility mode, you can turn off the feature and check if it resolves the issue.

2.Repair MS Office

3.Create New Outlook Profile

4.Disable the Anti-Virus Program

Refer to: How to Fix the Outlook Error ‘The operation failed. An object could not be found’?
