Hi there,
I have a VB6 app where I'm using the Outlook object model, and I'm
trying to capture the Outlook.Application_Reminder event.
Unfortunately, this event only seems to fire when outlook is visible.

Is it possible to capture the reminder event without outlook being
visible?

It should fire just fine *if* you log to MAPI. After creating an instance of
Outlook.Application, make sure you have something like the following:
set NS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
NS.Logon
NS must be dimmed on the same level (global) as olApp.

Thank you very much. You certainly know your stuff with outlook. I
have been using Outlook Redemption for quite a while now, and it's
been quite a savior to our program.
