MAPI on network

 

I'm looking to use the Calendar with Outlook on a network.

 

When I use 'provider=MAPI' the outlook on the current station is used. I tried with 'provider=MAPI; Data Source=m:\Documents and Settings\Chris\application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outcmd.dat" which is the Outlook agenda I want. Is opens the local Outlook agenda.

 

How can I use the Outlook data from another station or server? I want to use it on small networks, so Exchange Server is not an option.

 

Regards,

Additional MAPI parameters are supported for data provider connection string:

 mapiProfileName= <as string>
 mapiPassword= <as string>
 mapiFlags=  <as hex number, like 0x001>

EXAMPLE:
 strConnEx = "Provider=MAPI; mapiProfileName=Outlook2; mapiPassword =Brawn256; mapiFlags=0x00000012"

if you do not specify any parameter - default values will be used:
 NULL for ProfileName and Password
 and MAPI_LOGON_UI for Flags

Below are values which can be used for mapiFlags.
See also documentation for MAPILogonEx function.

MAPI_LOGON_UI   0x00000001 /* Display logon UI     */
MAPI_NEW_SESSION  0x00000002 /* Don't use shared session   */
MAPI_ALLOW_OTHERS  0x00000008 /* Make this a shared session  */
MAPI_EXPLICIT_PROFILE 0x00000010 /* Don't use default profile  */
MAPI_EXTENDED   0x00000020 /* Extended MAPI Logon    */
MAPI_FORCE_DOWNLOAD  0x00001000 /* Get new mail before return  */
MAPI_SERVICE_UI_ALWAYS 0x00002000 /* Do logon UI in all providers  */
MAPI_NO_MAIL   0x00008000 /* Do not activate transports  */
MAPI_PASSWORD_UI  0x00020000 /* Display password UI only   */
MAPI_TIMEOUT_SHORT  0x00100000 /* Minimal wait for logon resources */

there are other MAPI-related files in SDK - so may be you can make some research...
