Is MS Outlook 2003 can be automated with Windows service?

[Prazy]

Hi,



I'm planning to automate MS Outlook 2003 with Windows Service using VS 2005
C#.NET to do some job.

Have gone though a KB article where it says "MS Outlook is unsuitable to run
as service" but this article was last modified in 2005

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237913

So, I really wanna know whether it is feasible/advisable to proceed with my
work.

I have tried creating a Windows Service to retrive DL from Outlook but i got
hit with the following error.

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80080005): Retrieving the COM
class factory for component with CLSID {0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
failed due to the following error: 80080005.

your input is very much appreciated.


Thanks in advance.



Regards,

Prazy
