Outlook VBA Runtime Error 13 when setting variable
1
I have a VBA file that I've distributed to my coworkers and when my coworkers open Outlook, they get a run-time error 13 on the "Set olRingsInboxItems" line. It works fine on my computer, so I'm at a complete loss.
The following code is ThisOutlookSession:
Option Explicit
Private WithEvents olRingsInboxItems As Outlook.Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim oNameSpace As NameSpace
Set oNameSpace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olRingsInboxItems = oNameSpace.Folders("Rings").Folders("Inbox").Items
End Sub
vba outlook outlook-vba

Do your colleagues have a store named "Rings"?oNameSpacegives your VBA code access to all the stores in your folder pane. When you look at your folder pane, some lines are against the left edge and some are indented. The lines against the left edge are stores which are the files in which Outlook stores your mail items, calendar items, tasks are so on. The indented lines are folders within a store.oNameSpace.Folders("Rings")gives access to store "Rings".oNameSpace.Folders("Rings").Folders("Inbox")gives access to folder "Inbox" within store "Rings".

oNameSpace.Folders("Rings").Folders("Inbox").Itemsgives access to the items within folder "Inbox" within store "Rings". If your colleagues do not have a store names "Rings" or if that store does not contain folder "Inbox", they will get an error.

It is possible to access folders by index number, for example: oNameSpace.Folders(1) or oNameSpace.Folders(inx). This allows you to use a For-Loop to search down the list of stores for one with the required name. Would this solve your problem?

@TonyDallimore Yes, all of my colleagues have a store "Rings". This is our shared email address for the department. I just tried a For-Loop on one of my colleagues machine and had the same result. We both have the same version of Outlook and I have confirmed that our Trust Center Settings are the same and have even refreshed the references needed by the VBA file.

Try deletingDim oNameSpace As NameSpaceandSet oNameSpace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")and changeSet olRingsInboxItems = ...toSet olRingsInboxItems =Session.Folders("Rings").Folders("Inbox").ItemsAccording to the documentation,NameSpaceandSessionare the same. However, I never useNameSpacebecause it once gave me a strange error which I fixed by changing toSession. I do not remember what that error was. I do not know what else to suggest because I cannot see any other difference from the event code I use.
