Outlook Add-in not running with outlock

[NinuX]

Hi,

Has any one come across a problem with outlock - this is a small utility
which starts Outklook and keeps it running by preventing users from closing
outlook

We find that out add-in works when Outlook is opened normally but not when
opeened by this utility

is there a known issue with outlook adn add-ins when outlook is launched by
another process or something like that ?

Are you checking for existing Explorers and Inspectors in your startup code?
Code like that or synch code for PDA's would start Outlook with no UI.

My Add-in does look for Explorers in Outlook

However, the 3rd party product I mentioned (called outlock) runs Outlook
normally with UI, it simply disables the close menu so users cannot close
outlook

Whenever Outlook is started by outlock, my add-in menus and toolbars are
visible but they don't do anything

Then you're going to have to run in debug mode and see if you get
OnConnection, when you do if you do and what happens afterwards.
