Controls

[Tj. Adams]

My issue is that i would like to use A custom form to pull data from an sql
server to display on the form.

I have an database connection established but cant seem to access the data
objects to get them into the textboxes on the outlook form.

Using office 2003 with msadodc.ocx.

Any help or a stating point would be apreciated.

Showing the code you have so far would be a good starting point.

At this point i just have the oledb control and a text box on the screen.

ADODC1

I need to know how to access the text box properties not only to store the
data but to update the data as well in the SQL database.

We have a contacts database that i would like to publish and update as a
form in exchnage.

Hope this give you some idea where i am.

Thank you.

Tj.

The control doesn't really add anything to the process on an Outlook form.
You'd be better off just writing your ADO code behind the form. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/database.htm including links to sample forms.
You might want to consider using the TabTag application listed on that page.
