Issues that are fixed in the hotfix package

The following issue is fixed in this hotfix package, but was not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
  • When you use a COM add-in in Outlook 2002 that uses a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro that starts a hidden session of Microsoft Word 2002 and adds text to an outgoing e-mail message, the first e-mail message is sent correctly. However, when you try to send a second or subsequent e-mail message, you receive the following error message:
    Microsoft WordMail could not be started. Close any open dialog boxes in  Word and try again.
    If you then try to quit Outlook 2002, Word 2002 becomes visible and you receive the following error message:
    You cannot close Microsoft Word because a dialog is active. Switch to  Microsoft Word first and close the dialog.
