NOBODY programs MAPI if they have a choice.  CDO has an object model
with MAPI underneath it.

I thought it was the other way around, that MAPI was a wrapper for CDO.
Oh well, I need more coffee.

Collaborative Data Objects, it's a programming wrapper over MAPI.

Mind you that I don't have a code example but this code be achieved by
using CDO instead of Outlook.

My client uses Exchange server.

I currently have Outlook running on an employee's workstation, and he
receives emails form their client with attachments which have to be
processed by the database.  On this employee's machine I have a rule in
Outlook that moves all emails from their client with a specific subject
into a subfolder in Outlook.

I then have an instance of Outlook running in the database (Withevents).
The database thus gets an event anytime an email comes into that
subdirectory.  The event sink grabs every message in the subfolder and
saves the attachments into a working directory on the server, then
copies the email into a sub-sub folder so it isn't processed again.  The
attachements are two text files and an excel spreadsheet.  The text
files are imported using an import spec, and the spreadsheet is imported
using append queries, linking the spreadsheet to a known name.

This all works very well.

However we are moving this kind of process onto a server where it will
run continuously.  We will no longer have to worry about keeping his
workstation turned on, power failures, his going on vacation etc.

The client has asked me if he needs to have Outlook running on the
server or if I can pull the emails out of Exchange Server directly.

Can I?
