Hi,

I've never programmed in/for MS Outlook before, and have used MS Outlook
just for my emails. We have recently setup exchange on our system, and i was
wondering if there is a way in outlook to add my own form (i a list of
contacts on an sql database). I wish to integrate that list so that a user
can search the list within outlook.

Anything i need to download to be able to do this? Will apprciate
guidelines.

Thanks,

Ash

Maybe use a Public Folder to store the contacts or perhaps import these in
to the GAL as another Address Book.

Is it safe to have my contacts stored on public folder or contacts? I've
seen many problems in the past, with MS Outlook vulnerabilities, and ppl's
address books forwarded etc? Is public folder better immune?

Thanks
