Hi Rohit:

Look at the ActivateMicrosoftApp method; e.g.:

Application.ActivateMicrosoftApp xlMicrosoftMail

will activate or open Outlook.

Outlook from Excel using a macro?

Hi Rihit:

Something like:

Sub CloseOutlook()
Dim OL As Object
On Error Resume Next
Set OL = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
On Error GoTo 0
If OL Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Outlook is not running!"
Else
OL.Quit
End If
End Sub
