Outlook word editor opens up in different VB application.

[pareshtrivedi]

I have an application written in VB where I use word automation to
manipulate word document. In outlook if I choose word as a editor for
e-mail message then e-mail opens up in my application's word session.
If I open outlook first then it creates it's own winword.exe. Next I
open my application where I open winword through automation it creates
it's own word application. Everything works fine (I see two instances
of winword.exe in task manager).

The only time it does not work is when my application is opened first
and then I open outlook the outlook uses my application's word session
so e-mail message shows up in my application (I see one instance of
winword.exe in task manager).

Is there anyway to create my own word session exclusively so that other
application don't use my word session?

Let me know if this is not the right newsgroup to post this kind of
problems.

Thanks in advance.
