It uses the Windows Script Shell to to start and terminate Outlook. This is the only method that will close Outlook down completely, including TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) components. Code: -------------------- 'Written: December 30, 2008 'Author: Leith Ross Sub StartAndStopOutlook() Dim olApp As Object Dim olWsh As Object Dim Wsh As Object 'Create Shell control Set Wsh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 'Start Outlook Set olWsh = Wsh.Exec("Outlook.exe") 'Attach object variable to the running instance of Outlook Set olApp = GetObject("", "Outlook.Application") '++++++++++++++++++++++++++++' '+ Outlook code goes here +' '++++++++++++++++++++++++++++' 'Quit Outlook olApp.Quit 'Terminate Outlook program olWsh.Terminate 'Free memory Set olApp = Nothing Set olWsh = Nothing Set Wsh = Nothing End Sub -------------------- Sincerely, Leith Ross -- Leith Ross ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Leith Ross's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=75 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/showthread.php?t=45042

What happens when you right-click the tray icon for Outlook, deselect to minimize to system tray, and then click on the "X" titlebar button to exit Outlook? What happens when you use the File -> Close menu?
