Hi!

This is not so easy to solve, I guess. I have some ideas about this, but I did not tried them because I upgraded to MS Office 2000 and all works perfect there. If you don't want to upgrade to Outlook 2000, try following:

Run outlook.exe as application with '/Automation' keyword, than try to use GetObject function to get OLE reference to new instance of outlook application.

HTH.
