That's exactly my interpretation of what it means. In 98, I'm able to find the "ActiveExplorer" (if Outlook is already open), but that's it. I can't reference any other Explorer other than the active one. Putting them in a collection for 2000 allows references to any and all of them. (That's my read on it anyway :] )
