[AccessD] Automating Outlook

Thanks Rusty,

Looks promising. At least he has an object model. I find Outlook very
obscure. He also has a page with some good Outlook references.

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
