Exchange Server

cb · Guest

Any leads on where to start with this project? I've looked around online a
little bit, but haven't seen any starting points. I think I've heard
exchange is more or less an SQL database, so I should be able to connect via
ODBC... yes?

Essentially we have calendar information in an SQL database, but users want
to be able to see this in their Exchange accounts (public calendar). We've
tried individual calendar additions, but the problem is it's only insert; no
update or delete information. We're hoping snapshots (or even better) merge
would allow us to display the SQL dates in an Exchange public calendar.

Any links, info, guidance will be appreciated.

Exchange has an OLEDB provider but its only on the server-side. You can't
really setup Exchange as a subscriber for SQL replication. You could write
a program to sync between Exchange and SQL.

Tom -

I do have access to the SQL server and the Exchange administrator is
interested in this project so I have exchange server access. I'm not sure if
the book referenced is part of your recommendation or you signature. Any web
resources that you recommend for starting points on this project?

Thanks again,

Chris Beardsley

Tom's book is a great place to start with Exchange programming the other
resource you might want to check out is the Exchange SDK which you can
download from http://msdn.microsoft.com/exchange .

Also you might want to have a look at
http://www.logicom-inc.com/xp_sql2exchange/ I've never used this before but
it does look Interesting I suspect they are using MAPI under the covers so
you could roll your own if you have the time and resources to do it.

Cheers
Glen
