Thanks for your reply.

Actually I use the VC to develop on Addin dll for outlook and dll can create
a new item "Security" on the menu of outlook item. Through clicking the menu
item, some operations will be executed.

In the code, through overriding the OnConnect and Invoke function to get the
appliaction and inspector pointer. Then _CommandBars will be got by using the
"Inspector-get_CommandBars" function, and the top menu is also got. The new
menu item will be added in the menu.

If I uncheck the "using the office word 2003 to edit email message" in the
Tool-options-mail format, the menu item will occur and the operations do
work well.

However the choose is checked, the menu will not occur. I found the word
menu will take place of the outlook menu and it maybe the root cause.

Please help me to resolve the problem.

Thanks and regards,

Where are you trying to get the CommandBars collection of the email, in
which event handler? It shouldn't be in NewInspector, it should be in the
first Inspector.Activate event handler.

All,

I have programmed addin for outlook 2003. The addin is used for encryption
and decryption of all mail message bodies. Commonly it does work well with
exception of using office word 2003 to edit email messages in tool
options.
I tried to debug and find the root cause. Finally I found the
inSpection-get_commandbars can not work well.

Meanwhile, I do the tests on lots of PC. There is no failures in one PC
though I use the word 2003 to edit email messages. But others have still
the
problem.

Please help me to resolve the problem.

Thanks and regards,
