Hi Geoff,

I adapted the following code for VFP from a VB.NET sample found here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;313793

Here is the VFP code:

LOCAL i, ;
   loOL AS Outlook.Application, ;
   loOLns AS Outlook.NameSpace, ;
   loOLsyncs AS Outlook.SyncObjects, ;
   loOLsync AS Outlook.SyncObject
*
loOL = CREATEOBJECT("Outlook.Application")
loOLns = m.loOL.GetNamespace("mapi")
loOLSyncs = m.loOLns.SyncObjects
FOR m.i = 1 TO m.loOLSyncs.Count
   loOLSync = m.loOLSyncs.Item(m.i)
   loOLSync.Start
ENDFOR
loOLsync = NULL
loOLsyncs = NULL
loOLns = NULL
loOL = NULL

HTH
