Outlook programming

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.

Hi Shanim,

a bunch of links we got from Jay B. Harlow

http://www.microeye.com/resources/res_outlookvsnet.htm

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...classtopic.asp

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...figuration.asp

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...vr_cdo_top.asp
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.Before CheckNames event.

For articles on using Outlook from .NET see:

http://www.microeye.com/resources/res_outlookvsnet.htm

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

http://www.outlookcode.com/
http://www.slipstick.com/dev/index.htm

Hope this helps
Jay

I recently upgraded to Outlook 2007 B2TR and have found that I can no longer code against MAPI.DLL It's gone :( Using C#, I used to get the MAPI session, and from that I could change the out of office. No longer. Does anyone know how to do this using the new Microsoft.Office.Core and Microsoft.Office.Outlook DLL's that are supposed to be the new replacements? Here's what I had that worked until Outlook 2007 came around:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
