Folks

I have a a VB6 EXE (Auto FE Updater if anyone cares) which does a
bunch of things and then starts up Microsoft Access. A user, who has
done some good troubleshooting, has a problem within Windows 7.

If he starts up the Access FE MDE file with the VB6 exe it fails on
the following line of code.
Set olApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
if Outlook is already running. A second copy of Outlook briefly
appears in the taskbar.

If Outlook isn't already running then it works. But of course most
folks who run Outlook in a corporate environment run it all the time.

If he starts up the Access FE MDE with a batch file it works just
fine.

If he clicks on the Access FE MDE from Windows Explorer it works just
fine.

All of the above works just fine on a Windows XP system. This
problem is new to Windows 7

This sounds suspiciously like a permissions problem of some sort I had
when Win Vista first came out and I had to put in a manifest file in
the VB6 exe.
