Rick, Thanks for that. I found out the real underlying problem though and it's all to do with permissions (Windows 7 here). If you run in development mode and have outlook already open then it would seem that because the original outlook was NOT opened from VFP then windows sees it as running under a sort of "protected thread".
Also, you no longer need the GetObj() with Outlook 2007 (Windows 7) and above as the CreateObject() will create an object reference regardless of whether Outlook is open or not but ONLY in runtime mode when Outlook has been open with the same user authority as the runtime VFP application. The problem was masked as the upgrade to Outlook 2007 was done at the same time as XP to Windows 7 which is what threw me a little. Oh well, another 4 hours wasted!!! Well not wasted as at least it works OK now.

If I create a second TRY...CATCH with a second variable the TRY side executes fine.
