Hello,

I've asked this question several times in several groups and it continues to
go unanswered. Can anyone suggest a method of connecting to Exchange as a
different user than the one currently logged in via script behind an Outlook
form?

I have a public folder that the users cannot have read access to on the
exchange server. However, I need the custom form used for contacts to be
able to search for/display CERTAIN items from this folder. If ANYONE can
offer a suggestion I would be very grateful.

Requirements:

1. Folder items cannot be browsable by the users via the folder list in
Outlook.
2. Script behind form must be able to search for/display items from this
folder in a listbox on the custom form.
3. Items displayed in the list must be able to be opened by the users who
are displaying the form.
4. Don't want to call an outside program. Would like to just use VBscript
and/or CDO, MAPI, WebDAV, etc.

Any suggestions to this problem? Code samples?

Thanks,

John

You'd have to write MAPI code that would start a new session separate from
the Outlook session.

Why not use item-level security in Exchange if you're on Exchange 2000 or
higher? You can set per-user permissions on an item such as read, write,
view, etc.
