Default Acessing correct explorer instance from client extensions

Hi,

I have a query regarding ActiveExplorer() instance in Outlook 2003 & Outlook
2007.
We have a custom store and old client extension code written in C++. This
works fine for all Outlook versions.

These dlls creates custom store as well as custom menus in outlook menu
bars. All these code are written in client extensions module.

The code is simple - getting activeexplorer(), then getting commandbar and
addinf new menus and toolbar buttons. This works fine with single instance of
explorer. If we launch multiple versions of Outlook, menus in the outlook
menu bar is not coming. This is happening only in Outlook 2003.

get_activeexplorer() is called in init module of client extension and checks
whether menu is already added in outlook menu bar. But outlook always returns
first instance ActiveExplorer() eventhough if you launch 2nd instance of
Outlook.

IS there anyway to get active explorer for next outlook instance.? Do I need
to set any active window for outlook?

Thanks in Advance
