Read external data

[joseph.demanuele]

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 to dynamically view the list. If this can be done, how? from
where i can get information? thanks

Sure, you can do that. Most often to display the SQL entries you'd put a
grid somewhere on a custom Outlook form or some other form so they'd be
displayed. If you used a custom Outlook form you'd have to do the data
collection using an interface such as ADO, you can't use data-bound
controls.
