Hi,

Does anyone know if there are any utilities or programs
that can pull the .OST task data into a useable database
format? Our company assigns tasks via a departmental
Exchange Mail box task list, they would like to report on
which tasks are past due and send this report to the Vice
President. I cannot find a way to get at the task data in
a file and field format to use say in SQL, Crystal or
Access. Does anyone know if this is even possible??

Thanks,

Lee

Outlook has a rich object model that allows you to write applications to
retrieve just about anything. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/outtech.htm

Hello Lee, we specialise in the development of low cost, small

As Sue identified there is a very rich model from which it is possible to
extract the information that you are likely to require and we would be
pleased to quote you on supply of our consultancy and development services
if that is of value.
