[Mark Hammond]

I get an error from yahoo:

No shared folders are available.

Sorry, the owner has not enabled any shared folders in their account.

Hi,
I was using xemacs as my editor and the internal shell to run the commands.
I manually entered ^M into my last post to illustrate the error as I saw in
XEmacs.  I retried and used cmd.exe to run it and I receive the same error
but the “^M” character does not show. I have opened it in another editor and
I don’t see the improper line ending. I’m honestly not sure what to do.
I have zipped up the generated code and placed it here
http://briefcase.yahoo.com/vinayan3 , go to the Public folders and it is
called Python Problems.

Strange - I can't repro this on my outlook box (my Vista 64 box doesn't have
Outlook).  It looks like a ^M character ended up in the file in place or the
line ending we expect.  Do you have any idea what could cause this?  Could
you please open the generated file in a text editor and see if it is only
the one line with the strange line  endings, or is there something else
causing the error?

Thanks

Mark

Hi,
I executed the following code on a Windows Vista 64 bit machine with Python
2.4.2 and the latest win32com:

            from win32com.client import gencache
       try:
           outlook = gencache.EnsureDispatch("Outlook.Application")
       except TypeError:
           print "uh-oh"
       
Result:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 4, in ?
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\gencache.py", line
537, in EnsureDispatch

    ret = Dispatch(ret, u'CreateItemFromTemplate', None,

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I can makepy on the Outlook Com library manually however, I’d prefer to use
the EnsureDispatch function.

Thank you,
