Outlook 2002, SP3. I've noticed when I exit the program, as it is closing,
it puts up a rectangular message box (after the main window has closed),
then closes it immediately. It takes just a fraction of a second, just long
enough for me to see there's something there, but not long enough to see
what! If you have any idea what this could be, or how I could slow it down
so I could see it, let me know. The program seems to operate correctly in
every other respect, I just don't know what that blazing fast message box is
trying to say.
thx,

Do you still see the momentary popup on exiting Outlook if you load
Outlook in its safe mode ("outlook.exe /safe")? That doesn't load any
add-ons or COM plug-ins that were installed for Outlook.
