Well, you can send an email to mswish@microsoft.com to complain about
PFBackup and add your voice to complaints about it. I personally haven't
used it since it came out since it was so buggy and often left Outlook
hanging after you exited.

Can you get a valid handle for Outlook.Application if you use GetObject()?
That should return a handle if Outlook is running.
