outlook 97 and personal folders

[khalifeh]

Hello all,
I have been working on a project which requires an access databsae t
open a personal folder and send an email, then move that email from th
sent folders to the personal folder (pst). I have already done all o
this with office 2000, but the problem is that, my client doesn't hav
office 2000.
I wanted to know if there is any way of connected to a pst file an
using it programmatically using outlook 97?

Thanks,
Khalife

The AddStore method wasn't in Outlook 97 if I recall. I don't have it
installed here to check though. If that isn't available you could make
sure the PST file was loaded as part of the profile.

That's a good idea! thanks
how do u do that?

well it can create antoher problem, because there are 2 users for the
same pst file. If it's opened by one person then the other one cannot
use it.

Thanks,
Sam

Please post some of the preceding thread, the interface you are using
doesn't do that and it makes it very hard to follow a thread.

PST files are locked when a user opens them. They cannot be shared and
there's no way around it.

Just open the PST file and the next time you open Outlook the PST will
be opened.

Is there any way of creating a macro for outlook 97? I have heard that,
it is not supported in outlook 97

That horrendous Excel Tips interface you are using does not place any
of the preceding thread in the messages you post. Please do so because
it is very hard to follow a thread without that. I've asked you to do
this before.

Macros are not supported prior to Outlook 2000.
