¿Cómo puedo saber si Outlook se está ejecutando?

How can I tell if Outlook is running?

In order to view the Connection Status option, you need to both hold down your CTRL key, and right-click on the Outlook systray icon. Now you should see the ‘Connection Status…’ option. Click on it to check your status.

GetObject

1. set xlApp = GetObject(, “Excel.Application”) If an instance of Microsoft Excel is running when this code is executed, you have access to the running instance’s object model through the xlApp variable.
2. Run-time error ‘429’: ActiveX component can’t create object.
3. Set xlApp = GetObject(“Book2”).Application.

To use early binding, you first need to set a reference to the Outlook object library. Use the Reference command on the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) Tools menu to set a reference to Microsoft Outlook xx. x Object Library, where xx. x represents the version of Outlook that you are working with.

Versions

You can access this view by clicking the “Files” icon in the bottom-left corner of Outlook. By default, it will be between the “People” and “To-Do” icons. If you can’t see it, but you have a three-dot icon instead, click the three-dot icon and then the “Files” option from the menu that pops up.

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) makes it easy to control Microsoft Outlook within Microsoft Outlook itself. Using VBA in Outlook, you can create macros that perform complex or repetitive tasks automatically.

The code below is created by MVP Ben Clothier and can either retrieve an open instance of Outlook or open Outlook if it is closed. This uses a ‘self-healing object’ approach for returning an instance of Outlook. If you want to know more about self-healing objects, read this article :

If you want to test if Outlook is open with VBA code it is not so difficult as the example below shows: But if you want to open it when Outlook is closed with VBA it is not so difficult if you use Early Binding but not as easy if you use Late Binding in order for your code to run on different versions without issues.

I can see unique attributes of the background process like the PID is lower and the number of User Objects = 1, but there has to be a way to definitively test if the UI is open (what I’m calling the second process and want to test for) This is a script that works well for programs that aren’t always running in the background.

The error message, “Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook Window,” appears relatively often and is usually due to one of these causes: Navigation Pane issue; Defective add-in; Outlook profile in need of repair
