Outlook Add-In load problem

[Michiel Prins]

I have created a COM Add-In which exports messages to an application I
wrote. The problem I have, is that the add-in won't load correctly in
the following situation:

1) No programs running
2) Connect PDA to the PC, which executes ActiveSync (this starts
Outlook without user interface, Add-In OnConnect event is triggered
but I escape out of it because there is no explorer)
3) Outlook is started manually

In the visible Outlook session, the buttons and events do not work. If
I close all Outlook instances and start Outlook with a user interface
(not doing the PDA sync stuff) everything works...

The basis of the problem seems to be that the OnConnect event is not
triggered when the second instance of Outlook is started. But then, I
cannot create the events I need... This is where I get stuck.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The webpage you pointed me to does exactly describe all problems I am
having with loading/unloading my Add-In. Will download and try ASAP.


Thanks!
