Hi
I'm looking at ways of integrating our bespoke application into
Outlook. I'm hoping to find out what is possible and sensible before
spending a lot of time on the details.

The application involves queueing jobs, both audio files and word
files. The user then needs to select the next job from a folder and
launch the bespoke editing app. (setting status, typing content,
setting parameters). This also calls MS Word for typing.

I guess I need Exchange to provide the bespoke folders. Can I run the
application within Outlook window, so it seems to be contained within
Outlook? Or will it always appear in a pop-up window?

I'm familiar with VB6 and C# under .net. Do I need extra tools, or
does everything I need come with OutLook & Exchange.

I'd be grateful for any pointers on the way to go.

Cheers

Exchange would provide folders that could be shared among users. If sharing is not a necessary feature, you don't need Exchange.

Outlook itself can display folders and web pages. A C# Windows application would display within a separate window.
