Access 2003/Outlook 2003 send email from Access

I have problem with the following code when OUTLOOK.EXE process in on.
First, I make sure no outlook is running. The "GetObject" will set the oOApp to outlook and the code works fine. One problem is that if I comment out the ".Display" the "Quit" will not stop the outlook process.
Second, if the outlook process is on, the "GetObject" and "CreateObject" failed, "Outlook.Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)" also failed.
I don't know why "GetObject" won't detect that outlook is on.
Does anyone know why?

Public Sub SendMail(strMailAddr As String, strNote As String)
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
 
    Dim oOApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim oOMail As Outlook.MailItem
    Dim bStart As Boolean
 
 
    bStart = False
    Set oOApp = GetObject("", "Outlook.Application")
    If oOApp Is Nothing Then
        Set oOApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    End If
    If oOApp Is Nothing Then
        Set oOMail = Outlook.Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    Else
        bStart = True
        Set oOMail = oOApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    End If
    If Not oOMail Is Nothing Then
        With oOMail
           .Subject = "NABP Call Message"
           .To = strMailAddr
           .body = strNote
           .Importance = olImportanceHigh
           .Display
           .Send
        End With
        If bStart Then
            oOApp.Quit
        End If
    Else
        MsgBox "Email sending is unsuccessful."
    End If
 
Exit_ErrorHandler:
    ' clean up
    Set oOApp = Nothing
    Set oOMail = Nothing
 
    Exit Sub
 
ErrorHandler:
    ' Display error information.
    MsgBox "(" & Err.Number & ") " & Err.Description
    Resume Next
 
End Sub

I see you're using "Late binding", perhaps switching to early binding works better.
