Late Binding outlook object

[wiss.dev]

i use this code to send emails via outlook, it works fine if outlook is open and returns an exception otherwise, is there a way to send emails while outlook closed
here is my code:

Try
            Dim oApp, oemail As Object
            oApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
            oemail = oApp.createitem(0)
            With oemail

                .To ="[email protected]"
                .CC = ""
                .Subject = "Test Email"
                '.BodyFormat = olFormatPlain
                .Body = "Email Body"             
                '.Save()
                '.Display() 
                .Send() 'You can automatically send the email without displaying it.
            End With
            oemail = Nothing
            ' oApp.Quit()
            oApp = Nothing
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.ToString)
        End Try

No there isn't, because it's Outlook that sends the mail. You would have to open an instance of Outlook first.
