Question asked on Mar 30, 2014

Hi all, I've been trying to get Automator to work creating a new Outlook Message and attaching a file I've selected in Finder.  This is documented everywhere and I am using the right settings: Service Receives Files & Folders --> Create New Outlook Mail Message.  When I drag this item into Automator I get this error "Microsoft Outlook got an error: Can’t get «class popA» 1. (-1728)" and when I click OK the FROM section shows Default but the icon is spinning, like it doesn't know which account to use.  I have two accounts and my main account is set as Default BUT I cannot select the other and the Default doesn't seem to work.

has anyone seen this before or know how to fix this up?  At one time this was working and I think I had to remove and all my accounts back, maybe add another account, some how kicked it in the pants and allowed Automator to understand which account to use.  I might be dreaming this too, but I'm pretty sure I'm doing this right.

Anyone else seen this before?

DANG IT
