Hello, I would like to know if it's possible to force office programs (outlook for exemple) to open only once, like for exemple outlook express does ? Thanks for your help. Thierry. |

Well only one instance of OL will/can be opened, thats not the same as having multiple instances of outlook.exe showing in task mngr, which would be as a result of a problem with OL Perhaps you mean not have multiple windows open, or.......?

Hello, and first of all, thank you for taking some time to help me, i appreciate. Let me explain you exactly my trouble : I use a portal. In that portal, i have a button (controled by an activeX) that tells me if i have messages. By clicking on that button, the activeX calls OUTLOOK.EXE. Unfortunatly, every time I click the buton, another instance of outlook is oppened... This is not acceptable in my environement. If I use MSIMN.EXE to launch OULOOK EXPRESS instead of OUTLOOK.EXE, only one instance of the program is oppened, no matter the number of clicks on the activeX... I have tryed outside the portal, directly from a command line with the same results : every time I launch OUTLOOK.EXE, a new instance of the programe is started, if i type many MSIMN.EXE, only one instance is oppened... Is there a switch, a registry entry,... to avoid outlook be oppened more than once ? I hope that's clearer. Thanks again for your help. Thierry.

I'm afraid my usage is limited to the desktop environment, none exchange Whilst there only a single instance of OE will open, with OL it is possible to have multiple OL processes running in the task Manager, only a single OL GUI will/may be open, this usually happens when the origonal OL process fails to terminate correctly. In your particular environment I'm unable to add anything, sorry.

If i understand you only have "only a single OL GUI opened" ? In my case there are multiple ??? What version of OL do you use ? We run OL 2000. Thanks. Thierry.

I ran OL2k, with this on occasions, whilst the OL GUI was open, in task Mngr multiple instancess of outlook.exe process was running. Usually when this happened OL failed to function correctly. I would have to close OL GUI then terminate the outllook.exe processes. The multiple processess were caused by the initial OL, open, failing to close correctly when I terminated OL. This was/is usually caused by something interacting with OL, eg Fax Software, Synching app, Com addins I now run OL2003 and so far havent experienced the same problem.
