pendragon Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Rather than banging my head against the desk anymore, can someone tell me why this won't work....I always seem to get stuck when it comes to the use of quotes and joining strings! Grrr! Global $OfficeVersion $objWord = ObjCreate("Word.Application") $OfficeVersion = $objWord.Version $objWord.Quit Switch $OfficeVersion Case "9.0" $OfficeVersion = "Office9" Case "10.0" $OfficeVersion = "Office10" Case "11.0" $OfficeVersion = "Office11" Case "12.0" $OfficeVersion = "Office12" Case "14.0" $OfficeVersion = "Office14" EndSwitch Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\" & $OfficeVersion & "\Outlook.exe","") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted August 10, 2010 Developers Share Posted August 10, 2010 Works for me on Win7/x64 Office 2007. What is the problem? Have you put in dome debugging statements to figure out what info is returned to $OfficeVersion?

pendragon Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Yes, have done the debugging and $OfficeVersion is returning correctly. What version of Autoit do you have? I've got Win7/x64 and Office 2007 as well and it just won't launch outlook. No errors or anything, the script just runs and exits without launching.Works for me on Win7/x64 Office 2007.What is the problem?Have you put in dome debugging statements to figure out what info is returned to $OfficeVersion?
