    Hi Evan 

    Thanks for taking the time to reply.  The funny thing is, there is no way to use the application to submit a report because both apps freeze up almost instantly when the second application opens.  Trying to open a third application (say Outlook, then PowerPoint, then Excel) only the splash screen of the third application will appear and won't progress any further. 

     

    I need to use Task Manager to kill all Office processes and then just use one application at a time with the current beta build.
