I have a VB program that controls Outlook programatically. The program uses
a class (olwrapper) which in turn uses Outlook to send an email. A snippit
of olwrapper follows:


Dim objoutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim objoutlookmsg As MailItem
Dim objinsp as outlook.inspector
Dim mydoc as word.document
Set objoutlook = New Outlook.Application
Set objoutlookmsg = objoutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set objinsp = objoutlookmsg.GetInspector
If objinsp.IsWordMail = True Then
If objinsp.EditorType = olEditorWord Then
objinsp.Activate 'this was added for outlook
2007
set mydoc = objinsp.wordeditor
mydoc.range.paste 'inserts info from clipboard
end if
end if


This code has worked fine with Office 2003. I had to insert the
inspector.activate event and it has worked fine with outlook 2007, until one
of my customers recently had a problem. The are using MS Office 2007 Basic
Edition, and the .wordeditor property is not getting set. It is always empty.

I did some further testing and was able to determine that the code works
fine with office 2007 standard and small business, but it does not work with
basic edition.

I inadverently discovered that the code will run with basic edition, if I
start outlook before running the code.

Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
