Outlook plugin - "Could not complete the operation" error message on Send/Receive

Question

Hi, i created a Outlook 2003 plugin using ATL C++ and introduced a new toolbar with 2 buttons.

On selecting some mails and clicking on the button or on receiving new mails, the mail details will be read and export to a web service.

I am able to export the mail details successfully.

The problem i am facing is, after doing the action for a few times, and on clicking Send/Receive, "Could not complete the operation.One or more parameters are invalid" msgbox appears.Also on trying to open a mail, "Word editor could not be opened" msgbox appears.After that i have to reopen the outlook to clear the error.

The error does not occur for each time when i export the mail details. The error occurs after exporting  the mail details 8 time s.After that i am not able to do Send/Receive or open a mail item(HTML or rich text). I am able to open plain text mail item present in outlook.

Exporting of mail details is working fine.

I noticed this thread

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsto/thread/fa6cb905-a5d1-4a91-89b5-d1b4686e0bc6

In there , the error message occurs each time which is not the case for me.

i could not find on what scenarios, the Send/Receive action shows the error message.

Please help me on this issue.

I suggest you to visit an outlook programming forum. This error isn't from MFC/ATL, so expertise in MFC/ATL is not helpful to your question.
