[AccessD] Automating Outlook

Doug,

You might take a look at www.dimastr.com.  This is the website for the
creator of Outlook Redemption.  He also has an app called Outlook Spy.
It might help you drill down through the object model.

HTH,

Rusty

Subject: [AccessD] Automating Outlook

Folks,

I am looking for a good reference or web site on coding against Outlook
from Access. My goto place has been Hellen Fedema's site, but I have run
into some challenges that her site does not cover. The challenge I face
is that I have a client who has several accounts set up in his outlook.
He wants to send email from his business account, which I did. He wants
to put tasks in a specific task list which I did. AND he wants to set
schedule items from Access in a particular calendar. I can do this on my
development machine but for some reason his machine puts the schedule
items in the wrong calendar.
Trying to figure out what the object model of Outlook is has been
frustrating. It would seem that they would use nice collections so you
would go to an account, then item under account, then add an item. I
ended up trying to use the MAPI folders and am not hitting the right one
for some reason. It would be nice to have a nice object model to work
from or at least some guidance on how to get to a specific object.

Thanks.

Doug
