Problems with MicroEye's 2003 .NET Outlook addin...

[Joe]

I have installed Microeye's .NET Outlook 2003 COM Addin
sample listed in the "What's New in Microsoft Office
Outlook 2003 for Developers?" article. I am experiencing
a number of problems in which Outlook is not exiting
completely. I made changes in a copy of that project and
it working a little better but the shutdown process is
still slow. What is worse in my opinion is whenever you
restart Outlook 2003 and it did not fully unload you will
get the following error message "The Operation Failed".
In prior versions of Outlook you would not get this error.

I am also having a problem with notes when the addin is
installed. If I open a note item and close it by
pressing the close button and immediately close Outlook I
get the following error, "Could not complete the
operation. One or more parameter values are not
valid.". After pressing OK, I get the following
error "The note will close and your changes will not be
saved." Then Outlook 2003 exits. Has anybody seen this
problem as well? I have looked at a few things and what
I have come up with so far is when you open a note item a
new inspector is created and when you close that note
item I do not get a close event from that inspector. I
have not tried to create an Addin with VB6 but in my
opinion .NET does not appear capable of doing the job.
Has anybody successfully used .NET to create a stable COM
Addin for Outlook 2000/2002/XP/2003?

I have experienced similar problems. Whenever I work on my outlook add-in,
VB6 crashes when I try to exit (when I try to exit VB that is, not outlook).
It always happens after working on my Outlook add-in (even if I do not start
a debug session), and never happens any other time. I tried creating an
addin in .NET, but the application crashes when exiting Outlook.
