Using/Registering the Outlook Object

[charlie oppenheimer]

I'm sure there's something obvious I'm missing here.

I'm trying to use Outlook from within Word VBA. The declarations code
includes:
Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim oMAPI As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim oFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim oMailItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim oRecipient As Outlook.Recipient

Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application

I immediately get a compile error: "User Defined Data Type Not Defined"

Is there some way I need to be registering Outlook so VBA can find these
objects?

Thanks!
Charlie

You need to set a reference under Tools>References in the Visual Basic
Editor to the Microsoft Outlook [Version Number] Object Library.
