MS Office Forum / Outlook / 3rd Party Utilities / January 2006Preventing Double-Loading Outlook
Is there any Outlook Add-in that will prevent multiple copies from loading? Many add-ins cease to function properly if more than one instance of Outlook is loaded at the same time. Regards, Chuck Billow Outlook only supports 1 session. Any others listed are hung sessions. Or are you thinking of opening multiple Outlook windows (Explorers) where only 1 session is open? If multiple Explorers (folder views) then that's up to the addin developer. It certainly can be done if the addin is correctly coded.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Regards, > Chuck Billow Ken: May be just bad coding, but, for instance, iHateSpam, from Sunbelt-Software.com, and Adds 4 Outlook, from http://www.brigsoft.com both experience problems when Outlook doesn't load properly. Strangely, you know the "Accept / Refuse" type of confirm box that comes up when you are trying out software? THAT causes a lot of problems because "stuff" loading behind it doesn't a;ways account for it. Admittedly, I use a "couple" add-ins. It would certainly be nice if there was some type of add-in manager, like the startup managers that allow you to control what loads, set pauses, order of loading etc...

Tools>Options>Other>Adcvanced Options>Add-In Manager and COM Add-Ins don't work to allow you to contrl which addins are loaded and which are not? SignatureBrian Tillman If Outlook doesn't send an On_Connection event then no addin will initialize correctly. Things like ActiveSynch can do that by opening an Outlook session behind the scenes using automation. However, properly coded addins do handle things like that correctly. Brian pointed you to the COM Add-Ins manager, that would be where to control things that are installed on a user basis (in HKCU in the registry). For administrative installations in HKLM you'd have to edit the LoadBehavior setting in the registry and set it to 0 or 2 to prevent the addin from loading on Outlook startup.

I found this when trying to get rid of Acrobat's nagging menus and toolbars that would just not hide. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/officeins.html Spyro > Ken: > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] >> > Regards, >> > Chuck Billow Guys: Past maybe being able to help the situation with OfficeIns (thanks Spyro), seems that this issue ain't gonna be solved on my watch... too complicated with too many people/variables in the soup...
