How to detect an open dialog box in Outlook

[StewartUK]

Part of my emailing program has the lines

oInspector = oMailItem.GetInspector()
oInspector.Activate()

If the user has a dialog box open when the 2nd line tries to execute I get an error:

A dialog box is open. Close it and try again...

I couldn't find in the object model how to detect for an open dialog. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,

Stewart

As White605's link suggests, use TRY AND CATCH to detect if it is opened, and if it is CATCH it. Or depend on the version of VFP use ON ERROR.
