    hi,

    i'm working with [2005 .net version] C# on a VSTO project

    the problem i'm having is when [MS word, Outlook, or my program] any of these crash; all 3 if running will also crashing.

    i wonder if there is a way in VSTO to run your project as it owns instance of MS word. I don't want to user to lose the data just because one of these crash

    When i run my VSTO project then turn on MS Word or Outlook; i only see one WINWORD.EXE in the Task Manager. I'm expecting to see two WINWORD.EXE in the Task Manager for this case

    Thank in advance
    Paul

    Unfortunately this is not possible. Word application is designed in such a way that all its windows/frames share the same processe. Although it is possible to start a separate WINWORD process through a command line (see /w switch) - it is not the case when activation is done through OLE - and this is the technology that VSTO designer is using.
