Is it possible to write an Outlook macro that will launch an alert (external application) if/when Outlook's connection status changes from 'Connected to Microsoft Exchange' to Offline or Disconnected.

I've found numerous examples regarding instantiation of an Outlook session in a .Net application and using the ExchangeConnectionMode property to check the connection status, but that requires running a separate application on a polling interval.

There does not seem to be an application event that can be used within an outlook macro that is triggered by the status change.
