problems activating a Com ADDin

[Guest]

I have a Com Add-in programmed to load at start up.....
On some PC's it loads perfectly.... on another we cannot activate the
add-in.... It seems that even if we try to activate the add-in by ticking it
off in the COM add-ins.... After OK'ing all the way out.... Outlook just
deactivates the addin. No difference in user authorization level.

What will I look for...

(the developer guy is equally frustrated)

Look in Help, About, Disabled Items. Most likely Outlook is disabling the
addin because:

1. It's a shared application namespace managed code addin and it or another
shared addin crashed Outlook.

2. Not all errors are being handled.

3. You used CreateObject or New and a script stopper crashed your app and
that crashed Outlook.
