Programming Web Outlook Access

[Robert Crandal]

Is it possible to run scripts or something that can automate
the "Web Outlook Access" program??? I think this is
basically Outlook Express that runs over the web, so I'm
not sure if it's the same thing as Outlook Express. I'm mostly
curious if VBA can automate this program or not.

thanx

OWA is server side code that runs on an IIS server and is written in
javascript. Each version and revision of Exchange will have a different OWA
and if you customize it you need to do so for each version and revision of
Exchange. You would have to write your own modification of the existing code
and compile it and set the IIS server to run that code as OWA. OWA has
nothing at all to do with Outlook Express or Outlook.

I was mostly looking for ways to automate "OWA". For example,
it would be great if I had a script that automatically runs
OWA, enters password information, auto sets the recipient
address, auto enters an email subject and messages, sends the
messages, and then logs off...or something like that. Do you
know if automation is possible here??

You don't "automatically run" OWA, it's server side code that runs on an IIS
server, as I said. You could write a script to do a browser navigation to a
specific URL with logon information, but that has nothing to do with Outlook
or Outlook code and is out of scope for a group like this.

You should post OWA questions in an Exchange development group, it's all
server side code and has nothing to do with Outlook.
