Failure of Office automation

I have an app that's been running happily for years, but which suddenly
started getting an error. The line is like this:

xx = CREATEOBJECT("outlook.application")

and the error message is "OLE error code 0x8007007e: the specified module
could not be found"

It's as if Outlook was uninstalled from that machine, but it wasn't: Outlook
still runs normally. Maybe I will need to reinstall Outlook, or is there
something simpler I can do?

I would start by re-installing. This may cure the problem.

I remember a similar weird problem. It had something to do with the NAV
Script Block feature. Are you running NAV with this Blocking tool turned on?

Thanks for the responses.

I'm still waiting to hear back from the client...
