I have an AppleScript program which does many things. It needs to determine the "front" or active window. According to the Outlook dictionary, each window has the following property:
   index (integer) : The index of the window in the back-to-front window ordering.

I am experiencing at least three bugs with the index property:

1. I can access the index property, but it never changes as windows are brought to the front, pushed to the back, or selected from the Window menu.


2. The index for every Main window is a Real, not an Integer.

tell application "Microsoft Outlook"

   index of every window

end tell 

{2.147483647E+9, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}



3. The indices for two Main Windows are indistinguishable. If there is a difference, it is way down in the small digits of the floating point: 

tell application "Microsoft Outlook"

   index of every main window

end tell

{2.147483647E+9, 2.147483647E+9} 

Can I retrieve an email sent in error?  I could do this with Microsoft Outlook but can't find how to do it in Mac Outlook.  Please advise if so, how.

Outlook has failing to open and gives this message;
Microsoft Outlook cannot be opened because of a problem
Check with the developer to make sure Microsoft Outlook works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.

Help please!!!

I upgraded from 10.7.2 to 10.8.2
Had several issues with external monitor, Apple recommended I reinstall 10.8.2
I reinstalled mac osx 10.8.2
External monitor issue resolved (monitor would not stay on when lid was closed)
I then reinstalled norton AV
I then reinstalled office 2011
I upgraded Office to 14.2.4 (had issues but followed the Microsoft developers recommendation to install)
Install completed with success

Problem now is I am getting a popup window "Microsoft Outlook must be closed because an error occurred. Any unsaved work may be lost."

Have re-installed Microsoft Office several times and cannot get Outlook to work. Crashes occurred when rebuilding database on previous attempts and now the program will not allow me to rebuild or open Outlook before crashing.  I get the message below.

Every few days Outlook crashes and makes me rebuild my database.

How do I stop this from happening?

I have three accounts feeding into Outlook. One from Hotmail, one from Network Solutions and one from Gmail (which I use to save messages and is quite large with a hundred folders).

This is the error message I keep getting:
