ActiveSync causing Addin not to load "Dino" <dean.cleaver[ at ]panties.xceptionsoftware.com> 5/4/2006 9:20:07 PM Hi, I've written an addin using the 2005 Addin model, and VSTO etc. Works fine, except on machines with ActiveSync (and I presume any other application that starts Outlook as a COM object). Basically, it seems that when ActiveSync starts on login, it creates a COM instance of Outlook and it appears that the Addins do not run. Then, when the user starts Outlook, the addins don't run then either - meaning my addin won't work. If the user powers off the PDA before logging in, and starts Outlook first, then turns on the PDA, ActiveSync will attach to the existing instance of Outlook, and everything works as expected. Are there any known workarounds for this behaviour? Dino
