Outlook programming

[Shahin]

Greetings,

I have a problem. I have a client that has an database full of email
address. He wants me to make it so when he types an email in the TO box that
it check the database instead of Outlook Address book. I know this can be
done by either customizing the form or making an Add-in. I am a VB program
but have no experience with outlook programming. Can someone direct me to
the right place or give me a hint of how to do this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Shahin

Hi Shanim,

a bunch of links we got from Jay B. Harlow

The four CDOs are (in chronological order):

- CDO.DLL : CDO version 1.2.1
- CDONTS.DLL : CDO version 1.2.1 for Windows NT Server (not the same as CDO
version 1.2.1!)
- CDOSYS.DLL : CDO for Windows 2000
- CDOEX.DLL : CDO for Exchange 2000 Server


I hope this helps a little bit?

Shahin,
You may be able to handle the MailItem.BeforeCheckNames event.

For articles on using Outlook from .NET see:

Although not necessarily .NET both of these have a lot of Outlook
programming examples & information:

Hope this helps
