Jim is correct. And Almost every install of Outlook has add-ins. Look under options and disable them all. See if it starts. If so, then restart after enabling one at a time. Sometimes the add-ins conflict with one another so they may work together 90% of the time and go bonkers 10%. If you have a corrupt .pst and scanpst can't fix it let me know. I have some other .pst tool options that probably could fix it or at least recover the data in it. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2012 11:02 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Outlook Barfing Jim: I don't have any add-ins (that I know of) and just ran scanpst which found some errors in the pst file. My abort is random so I won’t know for sure if that worked for a while yet. I sent the scanpst link to the client. I will forward your email to him.

Add-ins. 2. Corrupt PST files. To tackle the first, they should start Outlook in safe mode: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/work-with-office-safe-modes-H P010140792.aspx as for the second, you can attempt a compact on a PST from control panel, mail, profiles, data files. Make a backup first. If it fails, then a PST repair utility may be required.

I get that randomly from my Outlook (2003) as well but it hasn't gotten bad enough for me to go through the hassle of uninstalling, reinstalling, and getting all the updates. Has anyone got a solution for him?

The error started because outlook was telling that was not able to connect with mail server (external supplier), but after a few tests, it was clear that the error was from my outlook . I’m running outlook 2007 with “business contact manager” . I never used the damn thing by the way. I tried to uninstall two times now, from the office uninstall, and also using REVO uninstaller to clear the register.. And magic !!, after I install, my emails and configurations are still there, but the program crash and send the error “outlook stopped working because of a problem. Windows will close the program and will let you know if there’s any solution” Of course, I’m still waiting for the solution from windows . After I re-install the whole office suite, windows downloaded the updates using “windows update”, so I’m assuming the latest service packs and patches are already installed. thanks Atentamente Victor Hugo Garcia Engineering & Plant Manager De: Rocky Smolin [mailto:rockysmolin at bchacc.com] Enviado el: miércoles, 19 de diciembre de 2012 07:35 p.m. Para: 'Victor Hugo Garcia Leduc' Asunto: RE: [AccessD] AV on a server "an error occurred executing the program and will be closed"." Don't you love it? No explanations, no error message, no reason. Just - adios, muchacho. I get this randomly from my Outlook as well, but it's not often enough to drive me to the project of uninstalling Office and reinstalling and updating to the latest service pack. Does this link help? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814441 There was a thread on my forum recently regarding this but I don't remember if there was any solution. When you say "receive from email server" do you mean from your Internet Service Provider or from your internal server? Are you running Outlook locally on your own desktop or on the server. What version of Office are you running? Are you running mixed versions of Office - modules from different versions? What is the exact error message? Does it have a number associated with it? If so you might try entering the error number and error description into Google exactly as it appears. This sometimes works for me. Assuming you're running Outlook on your desk top, and are running all modules from one version of Office, and trying to retrieve email from your ISP, you might try to completely uninstall Office, reinstall, the go to the Microsoft site and get the latest service release, updates, patches, etc. No guarantees on that, though. But the error indicates that something - a dll or other support file - is corrupted. Let me know what you do and if you get any results. If you send back the exact error number and description I'll see what I can find out from my forum.
