Hi all,

The following code can popup a particular Outlook contact detail
Click button 1, it opens Tom Lee contact detail
Then, close the Tom Lee contact detail
Click button 2, it opens Sam Green contact detail
It works fine ...

However, if I am going to open both contact detail (without closing the other person contact)
it will come up with an error >>> "A dialog box is open. Close it and try again"

Any body knows how to solve it ?? Thanks
