Essential concepts such as Namespace

[David L]

I am looking for material on the net to help me understand key concepts (e.g. when to use Namespace, signon in vba) so I can overcome code problems in Outlook 2002 but not in Outlook 2000. Application is in VB6 and please do not ask me to change to .NET because I am at the bottom of the pecking order.

Non .NET books are hard to find in bookstores in my part of the world and typically I have to wait a long time for special order, contents unseen. I would therefore appreciate someone help me find a few links suitable for beginners and give me a good conceptual understanding of the various objects involved.

Also, from time to time I would stumble on really good articles in the Microsoft sites but the hit rate is diminishing fast. Is there a way to do a search on these sites and exclude .NET specific returns?

Thanks in advance for your help provided.

David

First, look at the developer pages at www.slipstick.com. Then go to
www.microeye.com and look at the Resources page. There is a sample
VB6 COM addin there (ItemsCB) that shows Outlook COM addin practices.
Also at microeye is a KB page that lists relevant Outlook, Exchange
and CDO programming KB articles.
