Outlook Task Still Running

[Guest]

I created a program that opens Outlook and looks for messages in a certain
folder, then closes. I have tried this code to close the application:

outLookApp.Session.Logoff();
outLookApp.Quit();

But the OUTLOOK.EXE task is left running. If I re-run the program, a new
OUTLOOK.EXE task is started. How do I properly close down Outlook and get the
task ended? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Did you tried "Set outLookApp = Nothing"?

I'm using C# code, and couldn't find a way to set the app to Nothing.

Did you tried "Set outLookApp = Nothing"?

I tried that, but the process is still running.

outLookApp = null;
GC.Collect();

Does it work if you let the Window messag epump run for a while (e.g. by
displaying a message box)?
