Interact with Outlook 2002/2003?

[M O J O]

Hi'

(using vb.net)

I need to interact with Outlook.

In the "New Message" form, I want to add a textbox where I can type in a
customer name, have some vb.net code search for the Customer ID, save
the message in my sql database and then send it.

Is this possible to "interact"/addon to outlook?

Any examples "out there"?

Thanks!

M O J O,
In addition to chris's suggestions.

To add a text box you will need to design a custom form. Which is a standard
Outlook design question. For details see: http://www.outlookcode.com/

To program the add-in with .NET see:

Hope this helps
