I'm following the code here
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;313788 but get 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

Do you have a reference set to Outlook in your project and have it above any
other Office references?

I have the reference but it is under an Office reference. How exactly
do I move references up?

Why would that matter? Should it just continue to the next reference?
Thanks,
Brett

I don't use .NET but aren't there move up and down buttons in the references
list like in VS 6? It might not matter at all but sometimes an ambiguous
reference can be resolved by changing the references order for the project.

No - there aren't any buttons like that.
