It may be open and running and you just can't see it...
When a new instance is opened, it is invisible (as the notes stated).
Look in Task Manager to confirm.
If you want to see it, use olApp.Visible = True

Thanks Jim, your code works good, however if I wanted to leave Outlook
open instead of closing it when my macro finished, how would I do that
I tried removing olApp.Quit, thinking this is what closes Outlook, but
it still closed regardless or possibly the option for Outlook to
remain open for 2 mins (so send/receive can work) before closing

I've also tested it with an instance of Outlook alraedy open and it
doesn't open a 2nd instance nor does it close the 1st instance, which
is what I'd want to happen
Thanks
