The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Outlook 97

SUMMARY

Vbs32k.exe contains an updated DLL file for Microsoft Outlook 97. The updated file (Outlvbs.dll) removes the 32K limit from the Visual Basic Script Editor component of Outlook.

If you create an item with greater than 32KB of Visual Basic script and send it to a recipient who does not have the updated Outlvbs.dll, that recipient will not be able to edit the code. You can use the old Outlvbs.dll to view the code, but attempts to add or delete code will fail and cause problems. You can use the old Outlvbs.dll to edit items that contain less than 32KB of code without causing problems.

For additional information about the 32KB limit for Outlook scripts, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
