Bobby,
I think the problem is with the ActiveExplorer object(s). When I get
them "released" or set to None, then Outlook is happy to shutdown
immediately (even when *other* interfaces are still referenced). If the
ActiveExplorer object(s) are still referenced, then Outlook stays in
memory (apparently to do some clean up).
So, I'm looking into releasing the ActiveExplorer objects (well, all of
the objects, but especially the ActiveExplorer), then I think I'll have
the problem solved (fingers crossed).
Thank you!
Bill
