Client Issues with Inspector Toolbars and MS Word

Here are three errors that a client is reporting while using Word as the email editor in a AdxProject that uses the shim and SN assemblies.
Any ideas what causes these?

In OL2000, if Word is on, the OD button will not show up in the email toolbar.

In OL2002, if Word is on, I can send one OD email. After that, Word won't load as editor and gives the error message: Microsoft WordMail cannot be started. Close any open dialog boxes in Word and try again.

In OL2003, if Word is on, the OD toolbar shows in Word while Outlook is running. If Outlook is not running, the toolbar goes away.

Hi Martin.

Do you mean your own 'OD' toolbar/buttons ?

OD is our internal code for an addin. The toolbars and buttons we are referring to are created with Adx.Net.

Martin,

In OL2000, if Word is on, your command bars will not appear at all. This is the known issue of Outlook. You can read about it here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;Q201095

In OL2002, this issue can appear when you don't clear some Outlook interfaces that are no longer used. Please review the add-in code and use the Marshal.ReleaseComObject method to clear interfaces.

We have two examples regarding the issue when Word is used as an editor in Outlook. Please download them here:
