Here's another one, Vista's built-in desktop search is confused. I search for something, it's a message in my first Outlook instance, click on it, and it can't open it because it's trying to find it in the second Outlook instance. Close the second instance and all is well.

"The store C:\Users\carl\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.ost has detected a catalog checkpoint." and "The store C:\Users\carl\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook0.ost has detected a catalog checkpoint." These are logged as Information. There's no correlation to the timestamps - they don't happen for both stores at the same time, nor at a regular interval. They might be happening each time there's a change to the OST (e.g. mail delivery). Any read on that? Carl From: Michael B.

Just WHAT is that about? Grrrr. I could investigate these things for myself! Thanks Carl, I'm quite interested.

My understanding (for years) has been that the MAPI library is single-threaded Have you used this Ken? Regards, Michael B.

It was a blog about something else that ended up explaining how to fool Outlook into starting a second instance of itself and it was an elegantly simple hack. Can't believe I lost it and my googlefu has let me down... thanks, Carl ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
