SYMPTOMS
The CreateObject function fails with Type Mismatch error in the VBScript of an Microsoft Outlook 97 form.



CAUSE
The Scripting Engine installed on the computer may be earlier than version 2.0.



RESOLUTION
Update the Scripting Engine. Updates can be found on the Microsoft Web site at:

http://www.microsoft.com/scripting

CreateObject was not supported before version 2.0 of the Scripting Engine.

The title of the download may change as versions increment, but this site will contain a pointer to the latest available Scripting Engine.



MORE INFORMATION
While CreateObject was first supported by the Scripting Engine 2.0 Outlook version 8.03 is the first version that installed a Scripting Engine capable of performing a CreateObject.
