Question: this code continues to open a new Outlook. If I'm sending several emails, then I end up with several versions of Outlook open. I know I can close the the session...just check to see if there is a way to open the current session.

Thanks.

Trish

>>Sure you can! Look at this code again...I changed it a bit:

>>oNameSpace =oOutlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
>>oContacts =oNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(nItemType)
>>oExplorer =oContacts.GetExplorer
>>oExplorer.Display

>Okay, thanks. :) I was getting myself off of my own track I was originally trying to follow. The problem wasn't exactly being able to reference any of the Explorers, but to ADD/CREATE an explorer (especially in the case of [an] Outlook [Explorer] not already running). [unless GetExplorer does not require that there be an "active" explorer?]
