Outlook staying in memory

[Rod]

I am running a VBA program in Access to send emails. The email is sent OK

but Outlook stays in memory.

In the code below I have put in a message box to slow the code down. If this

is there then Outlook correctly closes itself down.

Because it is not closed it creates problems the next time I call the code,

even if it is modified to pick up an already open version of outlook.

I am using Office 2002 on a Vista machine with several cpus

Any suggestions please

many thanks

Public Sub Create_eMails()

Dim olApp As New Outlook.Application

Dim olNs As Outlook.NameSpace

Dim OBmailItem As Outlook.MailItem

Set olApp = New Outlook.Application

Set olNs = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")

olNs.Logon ""

Set OBmailItem = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

OBmailItem.To = "Me@Home.com"

OBmailItem.Subject = "Test Email. "

OBmailItem.Body = "Test Body Text "

OBmailItem.Send

Call MsgBox("Wait")

olNs.Logoff

olApp.Quit

Set OBmailItem = Nothing

Set olNs = Nothing

Set olApp = Nothing

End Sub

You need to allow time for the send operation to finish. You can try using a

DoEvents() call, but I don't think that will do it. Best thing to do

probably is to start a Send/Receive operation and wait for that to finish.

If you get a handle to SyncObjects(1) and call that SyncObject's Start()

method with an event handler for SyncEnd that should do it:

Dim WithEvents synch As Outlook.SyncObject ' in a class that can handle

events

Dim blnFinished As Boolean

When you call send you then use this:

blnFinished = False

Set synch = olNS.SyncObjects.Item(1)

synch.Start

While blnFinished = False

DoEvents

Loop

Your handler would look like this:

Private Sub synch_SyncEnd()

blnFinished = True

End Sub
