Hi,

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,

Chris Andries

Hi,

seems MAPI doesn't support network connections :(

hi,

see https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13421&KW=MAPI

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 */

Hi Jimmy,

I tried it this way, and I didn't succeed.

My calendar is working for 4 months now on a network with 5 users. It's tested and I will use it in my application within a month.

I'm looking for a way to synchronize it with Outlook. This way my users can connect/transfer the calendar to their smartphone, PDA, ...

regards,

Chris.

"old answer 2008" - piece of standard MAPI.H file from SDK e.g: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include

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