UserProperties.Add in outlook2007 gets Invalid Function error


I'm working with Delphi2010 . When I run the code with Outlook 2003 SP3, I get no errors but on another pc with outlook2007 i get an error 'Invalid Function error'.

const
  olMailItem = 0;
  olFolderInbox = $00000006;

var  
  Outlook: OleVariant;
  oNameSpace:  OleVariant;
  oFolder: Olevariant;
  oMailItem: Variant;
  oUserProperty: Olevariant;
begin

  try
    Outlook := GetActiveOleObject('Outlook.Application');
  except
    Outlook := CreateOleObject('Outlook.Application');
  end;

  oNameSpace := Outlook.GetNamespace('MAPI') ;
  oFolder:= oNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox);


  oMailItem := Outlook.CreateItem(olMailItem);
  ...
  oUserProperty:= oMailItem.UserProperties.Add('RetrieveCode', 1); //--> get error on Outlook2007
  oUserProperty.Value:=ARetrieveCode;
  ...
end;

When I use redemption I get the same error for Outlook2007 Can someone point the right direction to solve this problem?

I catch the error with eurekalog:

Solution

  • I have change my code from late-bound to early-bound to check if I get the same error. I imported the library to OutLook_TLB.pas and add the Outlook_TLB in the uses of the unit.

    uses
      ...,
      Outlook_TLB;
    
    function SendOutLookMail ...
    var
      ...
      MyOutlook: Outlook_TLB.OutlookApplication;
      MyMailItem: Outlook_TLB.MailItem;
      MyUserProperty: Outlook_TLB.UserProperty;
    begin
      ...
      MyOutlook:= Outlook_TLB.CoOutlookApplication.Create;
      MyMailItem:= MyOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)as MailItem;
      MyUserProperty:= MyMailItem.UserProperties.Add('RetrieveCode', 1, EmptyParam, EmptyParam) as UserProperty;
      MyUserProperty.Value:= ARetrieveCode;
      MyMailItem.Recipients.Add(AFrom);
      MyMailItem.To_:= ATo;
      MyMailItem.Subject := ASubject+' early/late-bound';
      MyMailItem.Body := ABody;
      MyMailItem.Send;
    end;
    

    When I run the code, I don't have any error on a pc with Outlook2007. So an early bound to the object fixed my problem.
