[dba-VB] Opening Outlook if closed code not working

To all,

Can anyone see why the following code (VB6) would open Outlook even if it is already open, I want a module that when I run my application, it checks to see if Outlook is open if not open it......

Function OpenOutlook()
    Dim objOut As Object
    On Error Resume Next
    
    Set objOut = GetObject("Outlook.Application")
    
    If (Err <> 0) Then
        Dim strOpenOutlook
        strOpenOutlook = Shell("D:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE\OUTLOOK.EXE", vbMinimizedNoFocus)
    End If
End Function

Thanks in advance.

Paul
