Hi all,

I have a moderately complex Access database. On occasion, when I click
the X in the top right to close it, it appears to close. However, when
I try to open it again, nothing happens. Looking in Task Manager, I
still have msaccess.exe running, as well as outlook.exe (the DB uses
Outlook via VBA to send email) and sometimes excel.exe (also used via VBA).

Has anyone seen this behaviour? Could it be to do with Access getting
stuck when it tries to close Outloko or Excel?

I've never seen this, but I suspect that one of the external processes
(Outlook or Excel or both) are still doing something when you attempt to
close Access. Does your VBA code close those objects before you exit?
