Another newbie question here. I'm writing an ATL/COM add-in for Outlook 2003.
When quitting Outlook, I was getting an "abnormal program termination" error.
If I understand correctly, this is probably a result of not releasing my
Explorer object pointer? I added a sink for the explorer close event as
recommended but I guess I have to do something other than just set my pointer
to NULL?

(My pointer is: CComPtr Outlook::_Explorer m_spExplorer


Here's my code (checking to see if this is the last :




// gives an "assertion failed" error
void _stdcall CAddin::OnExplorerClose(){

CComPtr Outlook::_Explorers spExplorers;

m_spApp-get_Explorers(&spExplorers);

long count;

spExplorers-get_Count(&count);

if (count == 1){

spExplorerEvents:ispEventUnadvise((IDispatch*)m_ spExplorer);

spExplorerEvents2:ispEventUnadvise((IDispatch*)m _spExplorer);

spExplorerEvents3:ispEventUnadvise((IDispatch*)m _spExplorer);

m_spExplorer = NULL;

}


}

As always, any assistance is greatly appreciated.
