Hi experts,

Within my Acess 2000 application, I need to check for an instance of Outlook running. If it is running, I need to minimize it.

I have found some code that finds a window handle, but I would not necessarly know what the handle is as it is what displays in the bottom task bar. That is, it could read "Sent Items - Outlook", or "Calendar - Outlook", etc.

What I need to do is:

1. Check to see if there is an instance of Outlook.exe running, not just a window within Outlook

2. If so, I need to minimize the ENTIRE application to the task bar, irrespective of what window the user has open.

If anyone has some sample code that shows how to do 1 and 2 above, it would be greatly apprciated.

Thanks,

JBG
