How can I determine the name of the currently logged on profile using the
Outlook object model (2000 or later) and/or CDO? Thanks!
 
Thanks, I knew it had to be easy. Is there any way to do this with the
Outlook object model (WITHOUT CDO), or can I use CDO with Outlook to get the
name of the profile the user is CURRENTLY logged on with (I don't want to
start another session.) Thanks for the help!
 
Outlook.Application.Session only returns "MAPI" so you'd have to use CDO for
this. If you use a piggy-back logon to CDO you would get the currently
running profile name.

oCDO.Logon "", "", False, False

Of course Outlook has to be running to use a logon like that.
 
If Outlook is currently running and I do oCDO.Logon as you said, no UI
should pop-up in front of the user, correct?

Thanks for your help!

Correct, that login will use an existing Outlook session with no logon
dialog shown.
