Outlook.Application not defined - vb.net

I have Microsofr Office Professional Plus 2010 version 14.0.6029.1 installed.
I have the following reference in a VB project:
Microsoft.Office.Enterop.Outlook
The type is .NET and the version id 14.0.0.0
My code includes the following:
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
the following error appears:
"Error 14 Type 'Outlook.Application' is not defined. "
I'm stumped.

I'm in the process of upgrading several projects from XP to Win7 as well, and I ran into this problem a few weeks back.
Try this,
Go to Project Properties -> References -> Add -> Click COM Tab -> Scroll down to either "Microsoft Outlook 14.0 Object Library" or "Microsoft Office 14.0 Object Library". (Pretty sure it needs to be the Outlook one).
In my solution, when I right click on Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application and go to definition, it is a member of Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, which comes from the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook DLL
This worked for me, so I hope it helps you.

Is there a namespace conflict with Outlook that the code is perhaps trying to reference a different object?
Try aliasing your Imports directive:
Imports Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Enterop.Outlook
This should explicitly tell your code (specifically your Dim statement) to use that namespace instead of any other implied Outlook namespace.

for 2016 excel version make sure the below is ticked:
tools-->references----->
*Microsoft outlook 16.0 object library,
Microsoft Office 16.0 Object Library,
Microsoft Access 16.0 Object Library.

Document type not defined in VBA

I'm following this mail merge work that I found in a related Stack Exchange question which looks to do something similar to what I'd like but I'm having trouble getting started. I"ve narrowed the problem down to the below...
Sub TestEmailer()
Dim Source As Document, Maillist As Document, TempDoc As Document
End Sub
With the error "User-defined type not defined."
It appears I'm missing a reference, but the reference recommended "Microsoft Office 16.0 Object Library" doesn't seem to fix the issue when I enable it.
Has this Document object moved to a different library? How do I find the right library in the future?
If you're doing this in Excel, you need to add a reference to Microsoft Word 16.0 Object Library and then use:
Sub TestEmailer()
Dim Source As Word.Document, Maillist As Word.Document, TempDoc As Word.Document
End Sub
Each application will only load it's own objects by default, along with other common Office objects. If you want to use other objects from another application you either need to add a reference to that application's object library or use late binding.
In this instance I'd recommend early binding (adding a reference manually) so that you get the benefit of IntelliSense in your code, this will make it easier working across applications.

Creating a MS Excel File in MS Project using VBA

I have a great Monte Carlo simulation macro for MS Project that I use all of the time. Since I upgraded my version of MS Office, it no longer works.
I got the macro from the following link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/montecarloprj/?source=typ_redirect
It generates an error (Compile error: User-defined type not defined) at the following line:
Sub SetupExcel(ByRef XlApp As Excel.Application, ByRef XlBook As Excel.Workbook)
Previously, to resolve this issue I needed to enable "Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library" in Tools-References in VBA. However, that option (or any Excel Object Library) is not available.
If you can't find the object library on the list, you can use the Browse button to add it to the list yourself. Find out where the excel.exe file is located and use the Browse... button in the References dialog box. Be sure to change the file type to Executable Files when adding the reference (lower-right corner of the Add Reference dialog box).

Adding a reference to "Microsoft PowerPoint 14.0 Object Library" in MS-Access causes "Name conflicts with existing module, project, or object library"

I am trying to add a reference to Microsoft PowerPoint 14.0 Object Library in an MS-Access project so that I can use the object model of PowerPoint.
When I do that, I get an Name conflicts with existing module, project, or object library. The only two type library references currently used by this MS-Access Projects are Visual Basic for Applications and Microsoft Access 14.0 Object Libary, both of which I cannot de-reference.
Is there a way to add the PowerPoint reference without such a conflict?

Excel oleobject cannot delete

I put date picker to my sheet and got a lot of problem
I cant select or delete thoose dtpickers nor manualy nor from VBA as this code
Dim obj As OLEObject
For Each obj In ActiveSheet.OLEObjects
obj.Delete
End If
Next
Return an error
application defined or object-defined error
I using Office 2013 32bit, other computers with Office 2010 32bit, Office 2007 32bit, Office 2013 32bit. I cant run compiled workbook on others computers, as i get in refences missing
microsoft windows common controls 2 6.0 sp6
Which also cannot be removed as is in use. I cannot uncheck it.
Most of my project functions and parameters such (Ucase, Mid, Left, wdAlignParagraphLeft) start getting error as undefined. Also all undeclared variables got the same error. Solving only by writing it with prefix VBA.Ucase, VBA.Mid and etc. and declaring all variables.
Also in developer tab insert control button not active anymore in all computers also in my computer too.
So question is? how to delete thoose dtpickers object and fix my project?
How to know what depend to microsoft windows common controls 2 6.0 sp6 library?
Remove protection from your sheet and then select and delete objects, after that go to VBA editor and uncheck this library from references and restart your Excel application.

Make VB.NET app compatible with Office 2007

I just finished developing a custom VB.NET App for a client that relies heavily on automation of Powerpoint through Microsoft.Office.Interop.Powerpoint. It works great on my computer (running Windows 8, Office 2010, and Visual Studio 2010), but it fails to install on my client's computer, which runs Windows 7 and Office 2007. I think the issue is the reference to the "Microsoft Office 14.0 Object Library" and "Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint" ver 14.0, but I have no idea how to change the references to version 12.0, which presumably would be compatible with Office 2007.
The only versions available in "References" in my Visual Studio are the 14.0 ones. Is there any way to get a hold of older versions, or to otherwise make my app backwards compatible?
The error my client sees when trying to install says "application requires that assembly Microsoft.Interop.Powerpoint Version 14.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first."
I've done this in the past for Word and I suspect it can work for PowerPoint as well.
But it can be a bit risky, but this is one area where VB.Net actually shines :)
Essentially, you develop with a debug version and deploy with a release version and the objects use different binding types. Conditional compilation controls the switch between the two methods of binding.
Caveat: I haven't tried this, but it should be very close to what you're after.
' Code for where you declare you your objects...
#If DEBUG Then
' Create the object for the dev environment using early binding
Protected PowerpointApp As PowerPoint.Application = Nothing
Protected PowerpointDoc As PowerPoint.Document = Nothing
#Else
' Create the object for the compiled application using late binding
Protected PowerpointApp As Object = Nothing
Protected PowerpointDoc As Object = Nothing
#End If
' Code for where you create your objects...
#If DEBUG Then
' Declare the object for the dev environment using early binding
PowerpointApp = New PowerPoint.Application
#Else
' Declare the object for the compiled application using late binding
PowerpointApp = CreateObject("POWERPOINT.APPLICATION")
#End If
' Use whichever method you want to open the document
PowerpointDoc = PowerpointApp.Documents.Open(etc, etc, etc, ...)
