you could try something like:<br />
set wmi = getobject(&quot;winmgmts:&quot;)<br />
sQuery = &quot;select * from win32_process where name='outlook.exe'&quot;<br />
set processes = wmi.execquery(sQuery)<br />
isOutlookRunning = (processes.count &gt;&nbsp;0)<br />

</div>

set wmi = getobject("winmgmts:")
sQuery = "select * from win32_process where name='outlook.exe'"
set processes = wmi.execquery(sQuery)
isOutlookRunning = (processes.count > 0)

How would I use this code in the On_Click event of another button...without the fields and the command button you talk about in your solution?

Detect  if outlook is running.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
