Outlook become unstable?!

[Siu Yan]

I'm working on redemption object for outlook.

I've tried the following codes :

set Utils = CreateObject("Redemption.MAPIUtils")
Utils.Cleanup

but the Extended MAPI session is still cached in my outlook. I don't want to restart my computer every time after I ran my VB program.

Is there any help??

Do I need to put those codes every time after I create a redemption object (e.g. safeMailItem)?

Post a little more code. Are you setting your objects to nothing
and logging off any sessions when your addin disconnects?

Just another reason that I don't like to use third party controls.
When possible always try to code around the security of Outlook.
You can use Digital Signatures (Certificates) and make your code Trusted.

HTH

I'm having my work replacement in a company for my college year...my boss asked me to use redemption object and I didn't know this thing b4...So I'm searching around and trying everything by myself.

Everytime after I created a redemption object I will use cleanup.
After I use ".cleanup", I will set everything to nothing.

Is there anything wrong?

[RobDog888]

No, nothing wrong. Redemption does have limitations, but it
does help streamline getting around the security issues.

It is just my personal opinion and experience about third party
controls. I don't like having my programs depend upon another
product with its bugs and limitations. There is enough of those in
our own programs.

so can you tell me how offen should I cleanup my redemption? Just only one when I disconnect to outlook or everytime when I create and finish using a redemption object?

Alos, should I set all the redemptiuon object to Nothing then start to claen up?

In my program, I do clean up first then set all the redemption to nothing

Without seeing all your code and program logic I can not give you
a straight answer on how ofter to cleanup, but there is an isue
about the.Cleanup method.

"Redemption needs to keep reference to the IMAPISession
Extended MAPI interface. Outlook 2002 might have a problem
properly closing if there is an outstanding reference. Calling this
method ensures that Redemption cleans up its internal
references to all Extended MAPI objects. "

And ...
"Some Redemption objects (such as MAPIUtils or AddressEntry)
need Extended MAPI session. For the performance reasons, the
session is then saved for later use either by the same or other
Redemption objects. Due to the redesigned Extended MAPI
support in Outlook 2002, it might not close properly if there is an
outstanding reference to the session. To fix the problem, call
MAPIUtils.Cleanup or AddressEntry.Cleanup (or
SafeCurrentUser.Cleanup); this will cause Redemption to release
the Extended MAPI session."

HTH.
