Hi,

One last question pertaining to Excel (my current project). In my add-in, I'm calling an Appointment form. This works only if Outlook is open, else it will give user's a message telling them to open outlook. My question is this: How would I automatically check if OUTLOOK.EXE is in their startup folder, if not, add a shortcut to it. Also, I want it to be immediately minimized.

Here's the kicker, I'm calling this from Excel. I'd like to be able to do this when the Excel add-in is installed. Outlook experts, if this should be in the Excel help section, just let me know (and sorry 'bout the confusion ). Thanks!
