How do I obtain a reference to the current Outlook Application Object from within an Outlook Express Add-in?

In your AddinModule it is found in Self.OutlookApp.WhateverPropertyYouWant.
If you want to access it form a form you've created thats a different matter.

Ok, how would I access it from within my form. Cand I just drop a Delphi TOutlookApplication component on the form, or will this create a new different instance.

One way is to create a reference to your AddinModule in your Forms OnCreate event. There is a code sample in an early message on this board:

http://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=1&TID=90

You could also try creating a global variable to represent your AddinModule in the Addinmodule unit and then put that unit in your forms uses clause so you can reference it from the form.
Code for that is on this board here:

http://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=1&TID=1038&MID=4855#message4855

In either case once you have a refence to the AddinModule you can then access its OutlookApp property.
