>>>I am working with Tamar E. Granor and Della Martin CheckServer.PRG. it works great and tells me correctly if a server is installed. but yesterday i came across a situation i didn't think about:
>>>
>>>a user has the full office package installed, therfore outlook was also nicly installed on the machine and CheckServer() came back telling me that outlook is on that machine.
>>>
>>>so i start my contact retrival class, and whoom... outlook starts it's final setup (you know, to setup your account etc etc). well, that i didn't whant - the user never had setup outlook, she was using aol.
>>>
>>>so here is the question: how can i check is outlook has been installed AND has been setup?
>>>
>>>thanks for all your help!
