Creating Outlook application from Excel generates type mismatch error

I am trying to create an Outlook email using an Outlook template.



On the Set obApp = Outlook.Application line, I am receiving the error:




Error: 13 Type Mismatch




I seem to be using the same syntax used in other posts on this site on the subject.



I also tried Set obApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Applciation") with the same result.



I have OLE Automation, Microsoft Outlook 16.0 Object Library, Microsoft Office 16.0 Library, and Microsoft Excel 16.0 Object Library, and visual Basic for Applications all checked in Tools-> References.



Sub CreateEmailfromTemplate()
Dim obApp As Application
Dim NewMail As Outlook.MailItem

Set obApp = Outlook.Application 'THE PROBLEM IS HERE
Set NewMail = obApp.CreateItemFromTemplate("F:Folder1AutomationEmailTemplatesTEST TEST.oft")
NewMail.Display

End Sub

  • If the code is in Outlook then no need to set application, simply use ‘Application.CreateItem’

You have two options to choose from:



Option 1: Early Binding



In order to use early binding, you need to set a reference to:



Microsoft Outlook ##.# Object Library


Which can be done in the VBE > Tools > References. I assume this is the method you are preferring due to the way you have already declared your variables.



The issue in your code using this method is that in the statement Dim xxxx As Application, As Application is referring to Excel's Object Model. You need to specify you are wanting to use Outlook.



Sub CreateEmailfromTemplate()

Dim obApp As New Outlook.Application '<-- Notice Change
Dim NewMail As Outlook.MailItem

Set NewMail = obApp.CreateItemFromTemplate("F:Folder1AutomationEmailTemplatesTEST TEST.oft")
NewMail.Display

End Sub


Option 2: Late Binding



You will not need to set a reference in this method, but Outlook's types and constants will not be available at compile time. The compiler will obtain these during runtime.



Sub CreateEmailfromTemplate()

Dim obApp As Object
Dim NewMail As Object

Set obApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set NewMail = obApp.CreateItemFromTemplate("F:Folder1AutomationEmailTemplatesTEST TEST.oft")
NewMail.Display

End Sub


Notice in this method Outlook's objects were declared as type Object.

  • Worth mentioning that in case 1 (early binding) you can use the New syntax instead of GetObject() - i.e Set obApp = New Outlook.Application, which I think feels a bit cleaner

    @Greedo Depends - I wouldn't necessarily want to create a new object if one is already running. Could you imagine running this code 50 times and having 50 instances open? Sure, you could close the application at the end of the routine, but if the object already exists then why not use it? I probably could have added a check to see if olApp Is Nothing first and then proceed to create a new object.

  • Ah so true, I mistakenly thought you were using CreateObject()as in the question. There's no early bound /New style equivalent of GetObject() is there? Something like Set obApp = Existing Outlook.Application (which has the minor benefit of being able to dot through the library). And what scope does GetObject() look in - same method and publicly declared variables, or somehow global? Like should a parent method be worried about a child hijacking its instance in this way?

  • Unfortunately for both early and late binding, there is no equivalent of As New... to GetObject(). And with "...hijacking its instance in this way": I suppose this ultimately boils down to security. Any piece of malware could supposedly gain access to ActiveX/COM programs this way, which would be why it's important to keep your OS and antivirus software up to date, @Greedo.

  • Oh no, I'm not suggesting anything so nefarious. All I'm wondering is whether under normal circumstances, GetObject has sight of variables that are not in the method's scope. If Sub a has Set a = CreateObject("foo.bar"), can Sub b in a different scope do Set b = GetObject("foo.bar") to get a's object, where Set b = a would give a variable not defined error because of the difference in scope
