[AccessD] A2003: Connecting with GMAIL

Thanks Stuart.
Probably explains the lack of examples on the googles.

Anyone have thoughts on getting them to use something like outlook or even
Blat on their RemoteDesktops instead of Gmail?

As for calendaring there are a gajillion calendaring options for Access that
I can explore.

Concept question:
I figure the advantage to having GMAIL and Google calendars is you only need
a network connection and a browser to get at them.
Is it not the same concept with doing things via a RemDesktop?
Just need a network connection, mstsc.exe and an address (host)?
Thanks

Sorry,  just did a bit more checking.  GMail requires SSL/TLS so you can't
use Blat with it 
directly.  You would need to also set up stunnel which would be a real PITA.
