Memory

[nroose]

I have a program that accesses/adds/edits a couple thousand Outlook
items. The problem is that Outlook does not release any memory. The
memory usage of Outlook.exe grows until Outlook gets an error.

If I run OL minimized, and manually restore and re-minimize every so
often, that cleans up the memory and the error does not happen.

I tried to programmatically do the restore and minimize, but that does
not clean up the memory.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

You can use CDO. It´s optional and you maybe have to install it first
from your Office-/OL CD.

BTW: It´s much faster than the OOM.

Umm. The items I am working with are Contacts, Appointments, and
Tasks. All I can find about the CDO indicates that it only does
messaging objects. Is that incorrect? Can I access Contacts,
Appointements, and Tasks with CDO?

Messages are correct. Please see also http://www.cdolive.com/cdo10.htm.
