Hello,

I'm trying to find a means of creating a report from an Outlook
calendar. I can't find any detailed description of the relevant API,
and I'm using Outlook 2003. Is there a published API for this
product, or should I be looking at the Exchange API? I would think
that there would be an easy way to create such a report, based on say,
location of meetings, or time of events, or organizer, but I can't
find anything that documents such a function.

If anyone can point me to a resource that would describe something of
how to address this situation, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Regards,
Dave Spaar
 
Thanks Sue, that's a good starting point...

I've checked the relevant pages on MSDN, and I can't find
documentation that describes the object model in detail...I don't
suppose you have any idea where such a reference may exist? The
Outlook 2003 object model map is a nice overview, but as far as
providing the same level of information as, say, the documentation for
the ADO objects, it doesn't quite cut it.

I've looked at the web pages for Outlook 2003 on MSDN and have to say
that there is a complete lack of any sort of API documentation. I
guess I'll have to use this good lead as a starting point, and check
out some of the other references in order to get any info on how to
actually use the object model map in a practical way.

Do you have any idea when (if ever) Microsoft will provide detailed
documentation on Outlook 2003 programming? I'm not looking for the
world on a silver platter, but documentation comparable to that which
exists for other Microsoft technologies is desirable.

In any case, thanks very much for taking the time to provide links to
the available info.

Peace,
Dave Spaar
 
The documentation is in Help. Use the object browser as the ToC: Press
ALt+F11 to open the VBA environment in Outlook, then press F2. Select any
object, property, method, or event, then press F1 for documentation.

The Outlook 2000 and, I think, 2002 object model document is online at MSDN.
Outlook 2003 added just a few new things, nothing major.

Can I just say "D'OH!!!"

I failed to include the VBAOL11.CHM file during my initial install of
Office Pro 2003, thus I was not able to access a lot of the info. But
thanks for your help, the help file contains the exact information I
was seeking.

I really appreciate you taking the time to hold my hand on this, Sue!
:)

Peace. Out.
