I have been using vb6 to build a COM Add-in for Outlook. There are parts of
the code that run in a long loop and require a DoEvents. In the case of
Outlook 2007, all is fine until a new mailitem is opened and user starts
typing an email. Once the user starts typing and a DoEvents it triggered by
the Add-in in the background then Outlook locks up indefinitely using 100%
CPU.

I have went through and eliminated any unnecessary DoEvents but if I remove
all of them then Outlook stalls until the large loops are completed.

This does not occur in Outlook 2000, 2002 or 2003.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Chris Smith
