outlook macro - insert accented character?

[slwolf8]

i am trying to write a macro in outlook that will insert an "e" with an accent. I tried to do it this way:

Dim strE As String
strE = Chr(233)
Selection.typetext Text = (strE)

i'm getting an error "object required" on the second line. I usually write macros in Word so Outlook macros are a little foreign to me. Any ideas?

Perhaps Text := strE
