how to evaluate if Outlook is running?

[ikim2000]

With VB, how can I evaluate if Outlook is already running?
and if it is, how do I make it the active window?

thanks,
Ike

Dim olApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim olInstance As Outlook.Explorer
Dim olNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace

' See if an instance is running
Set olInstance = olApp.ActiveExplorer
If Not olInstance Is Nothing Then
' User's Email running, display
Set olNamespace = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI&quot
' Set to default draft folder view
Set olApp.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = olNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderDrafts)
olApp.ActiveExplorer.Display
End If
