I have written an app that works with the Outlook Contacts folder to display contact information. When I attempt to connect the Outlook Security Manager to Outlook, I get a "The parameter is incorrect" error. This is VB6 using the Outlook Security Manager ActiveX Control. Below is the code:

Public gobjOutlook As Object
Public gobjNameSpace As Object
Public gobjDefaultContactsFolder As Object

Set gobjOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set gobjNameSpace = gobjOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set gobjDefaultContactsFolder = gobjNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)

'Connect the Outlook Security Manager to the outlook application.
OutlookSecurityManager.ConnectTo gobjOutlook <---error occurs here


When compiled, the app works fine on my WinXP Pro development machine, but when I try to install the app on my laptop (WinXP Home), I get the error when starting the app.

Can someone help with this?

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim,

Have you done all written in the Deployment section (page 32) of the OSM Developer's Guide on your laptop?
