See if outlook is running during access program execution

Can anyone help me? I need a way for access to verify if outlook is running
when my database program is started. I have an access database for my
tooling. The operator starts the db program from an Icon when he needs a tool
and completes a transaction. When a minimum level is reached the db sends an
email to purchasing to order more tools. When the transaction is complete he
closes the application. I'm sharing this computer with other departments so
leaving the application on is not an option. The other departments don't use
the inbox and it keeps getting shutoff "accidently"! If outlook isn't on when
a transaction takes place, it won't send the email. I need to turn it on
automatically which I can do with the shell command. The problem is if it is
currently running. It opens up a second, and third, ..etc inbox window. Is
there a way to to either hide outlook while it's running or verify whether
the inbox is on or not so I can get this application to work correctly and
flawlessly. Any help would be appreciated. I don't have much hair left to
pull out!
