If the user can´t quit OL then your app is still running - or any other app
that holds at least one ref on OL. You need to check your code that really
nothing remains alive. A popular mistake e.g. is not to unload a form.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, if I use
myExpl.Close
then
oOL.Application.Quit
and then I release any objects associated with Outlook

Set myFolder = Nothing
Set myExpl = Nothing
Set myNameSpace = Nothing
Set oOL = Nothing

it still doesn't allow my application to kill Outlook.

Also, I'm not really looking to kill Outlook from my application
(although I would like to be able to do this). Rather, when I need to
send emails, I want to open up Outlook (if it's not already open) and
send them, leaving it open for the user.

If the user closes my application, I would prefer to leave Outlook
running - they may well be using it. But when they come to close Outlook
themselves, it won't close if I created the instance -- even if my
application is no longer open.

Thanks

Revised code:
Sub OpenOutlook2()

Dim oOL As Object
Dim myNameSpace As Object, myExpl As Object

'Try and get an active instance:
On Error Resume Next
Set oOL = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
On Error GoTo 0

If oOL Is Nothing Then
'try and create a new instance
Set oOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
If Not oOL Is Nothing Then

Set myNameSpace = oOL.GetNamespace("MAPI")

Set myExpl = _
oOL.Explorers.Add(myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(6), 0)
'olFolderInbox,'olFolderDisplayNormal
myExpl.Activate
MsgBox "opening...."

End If
End If

If MsgBox("Outlook created = " & (oOL Is Nothing) _
& vbCrLf & "Wanna close?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
myExpl.Close
oOL.Application.Quit
End If

'tidy up....
Set myExpl = Nothing
Set myNameSpace = Nothing
Set oOL = Nothing

End Sub

I think, closing the Explorer by code, if you created the OL instance,
should do it.
