Accessing Outlook 97-2003 with vb.net

[Graham Smith]

Hi,

what's the best way to automate all versions of Outlook without running into
security and "Outlook does not shut down" hassle?

Thanks for any advice
Graham

Since COM addins only are supported for Outlook 2000 and later you would
need to write an Exchange Extension to be able to support all versions of
Outlook. Those use Extended MAPI (C++ and Delphi only) so they avoid the
Outlook object model guard. Not a task for the faint-hearted but the only
way to go for what you want.
