Outlook 2003 View Control / Other Control

[Guest]

Hi,

I want to know if it is possible to point the Outlook View Control to a
specific file. I want to place my stored database like *.pst on my site and
point the control to it. Instead of just "inbox" when I view my html page on
my server, it opens my local database on my computer. Can I point it
specifically to an upload *.pst or *.msg or *.oft. Can I create a special
folder with the data files inside it, upload that file inclusive of the
datafiles if I cannot point to a specific datafile on the server? Note this
is not on an Exchange server, just regular run of the mill ISP http/ftp.

Thanks any ideas or suggestions.

No, the OVC can display only the folders that are currently visible in the Outlook folder list. You can open a .pst file programmatically using the Namespace.AddStore method.

Note that the OVC does not display individual items.
