How are Journal CAtegories stored

[Randy Lane]

I've been having users specify a Category when entering a journal item
into a publis folder.
I've used Access to connect to the folder so I can query it, possibly
extract the data. But I don't see how I can get the category items
using Acces (i.e., OLEDB). Anyone with any ides?

The linked table method has major limitations, including the inability to
show even all the reasonably important fields. While articles have been
written on how to expand on this method's obvious features, I've never been
able to duplicate the results. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/database.htm#linkedtables .

That page will also give you other ideas on how to work with databases and
Outlook together. You'll need to write code or use a third-party tool that
does the heavy lifting.
