Progr. access to Outl. info (client) from terminal server applic.

[Guest]

How can I access Outlook data (contacts, appointments) programatically from
an application run as a terminal server application?

You can't from the remote client, only on the machine running Outlook.

Maybe I should re-phrase my question:
Assume on system "A" Outlook is running and, as well on "A", a terminal
server window is established to run an application hosted on system "B". The
question is: how can I establish a data exchange between the application on
"B" and Outlook on "A"? I could eventually imagine a service process running

As I said, I don't know of any way to do that. Even manually, the only way to do it is to copy and paste.

Is Exchange your mail server? If so, then application B could in theory read and write directly to the Exchange Server without involving system A at all.
