Something I wonder - if you automate outlook starting through COM automation, I wonder if it displays the splash screen then? Over the next few days, I'll probably be writing / amending outlook to start in this way (a step to making it difficult to attempt to start outlook twice through a custom interface) - so if / when I find out, I'll let you know. From memory, other office apps don't seem to display splash screens when automating that way - 'cos you explicitly state when the app should be visible.
