Outlook Bug?

[Avi]

Hi.
I am using Outlook 2002/2000 objects in my VB 6.0 Program.
Whenever I
write the following:
Set Outlook = New Outlook.Application
(OR createObject)
Set NSpace = Outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")

The program raises an error saying automation
error/activex error.
it only occurs when the user has Personal Folders Backup
add-in installed
into office.

However, when I open outlook, then run the program, it
works fine. Do you
know why? And if so then how do I fix it?
I can't ask my clients to uninstall the backup utility.
Try installing the backup utility, and
you'll see.

Thanks in advance

PFBackup is known to be flaky and unreliable and I wouldn't be at all
surprised to hear that it has other problems. I would never install or
use it because of those problems, one of which is it is known to keep
Outlook in memory.
