MAPI client (still)

Visual C++ Programming
I'm trying to build an application that can open multiple instances of my MAPI client (Microsoft Outlook) at the same time. The problem is, I can't even make the first instance I created as a stand alone process. Instead, my MAPI client appeared to be a "child window" of my application. What I need is a way to activate instances of my MAPI client and keep it activated even if I close my "parent application." Is this possible? Can anybody help me with this problem? Its really been frustrating trying to find a solution, and so far, all my attempts produced negative results. I'd really appreciate it if anybody can help me with this. Even a simple source code illustrating this will be more than welcome. Thanks =)
