I have clients that have been using the outlook scripting to send emails. They recently changed from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2016 (not Express). The email function now errors with this:
Accuterm Script Error
ActiveX Automation: server could not be found.
Error Source line
Set Outlook.App = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Does this sound like a permissions issue?

Hi Bob -

Maybe there is something wrong with the registration of Outlook? Take a look at this page:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2827747/missing-registry-information-can-cause-problems-with-the-outlook-objec

Another possibility is that the 64 bit version of Outlook 2016 is installed, and AccuTerm is a 32 bit program.

Thanks,

Pete
