A nice 'service' detecting Outlook start
Hello there,
I would like to have a Delphi program (for project we are developping) that is being activated after an Outlook start, but before Outlook get visible (have to init a database connection then, et cetera).
A Windows service running detecting an Outlook start is Okee, but it had to run on Windows 95 and NT. And to offer security possibilities. An application in registry under currentversion/run also works for me.
Moving Outlook.exe and replacing it with my own app. or a registry thrick is not an option
Could I do something with a hook?
I'm running out of options, anybody who could give me some help? I could return the favor with some Word / WP automation.
Thanx,
Floris.

when satisfies that all is well, we'll skim all the rubbish off the code and make it much smaller.and have it running all the time (via run in registry) and hide the form from ctrl-alt-del menu and taskbar etc so it is like a service..

Woah Nelly!
Could you just write an add-in for Outlook that hides the Outlook window or shows some kind of splash screen or progress screen while making your DB connection?
Woof!

I'm happy with your answer, inthe.
I'm not an expert in the area of dll. You said something about skimming the code? Could you send this to me in a Delphi project?
Great great... ...:-)
Would you like to have my Word / WordPerfect COM object?
I'll send you this message by mail too.
Thanks again,
Floris.
