ComboBox Assistance

G

Hello,

I need some assistance with a ComboBox on an Outlook form.

I use a time and billing application to record my time for billing my
clients and this application is based on a Paradox database. This database
contains all of my client information and is the one DB that I update with
changes and additions. I would like to maintain this application but use its
database within an Outlook form.

I have a ComboBox on the form that I would like to populate with the names
of all of my clients. This will drive the rest of the form for the email
message to be sent. I want to use this to generate a service report to send
to the client that shows the date, start and end times, total hours to be
billed and the specific details about the services provided. The ComboBox
selection will drive the form and email message. Based on the client
selected the recipient names and email addresses and the subject of the
message will provided to the email.

I cannot find any information on accessing the Paradox DB from the Outlook
code to populate the ComboBox. It can be a DSN connection if need be or a
direct access to the DB via the code. I am not sure this can even be
accomplished.

Any input and/or direction is appreciated.

Thanks.
