ActiveSync problem

I have an Explorer Bar with 1 button. When Active Sysnc starts before the outlook UI is loaded I get an error - "Object refrence not set to an instance of an object"

I guess the my BAr is trying to load into a non existent Active Explorer.

I tried changing the load behaviour to onDemand but then my Bars dont appear.

Is there a solution for this?

Thanks

Adam

Could you please send us your source code. Or list the initialize handler code here.

Sure - code below.

The problem was not Add-In Express but a previous add-in I had tried to build without AIX!

Thanks to Sergey for help, I must say the support provided here is outstanding!
