Reading external data

[jod75]

Hi,

I'd like to know if it is possible to display a list of records stored
in MS SQL in Outlook. I don't want to copy the data in Exchange. I
want ot dynamically view the list. If this can be done, how? from
where i can get information?

thanks

Sure it can be done, I do it all the time. I usually use a grid control on
the Outlook form and populate it using something like ADO and connecting to
the database, it's all the same whether you get the recordsets in VBScript
code in the form or any other way of getting database information. You just
can't use a databound control, you have to roll your own recordsets and
coding.
