Extracting msgs from .pst file programmatically?
Is it possible? If so, would VB scripting be able to handle it? And if so, may I see some sample code? It bogs down to 4 or 5 fields: date to/from subject msg -- I want this guy first. attachment (optional) Thanks. |

Extracting msgs from .pst file programmatically?
What exactly are you trying to achieve?
To what extend do you want it to go programmatically and in which format? For instance; -finding a certain pst-file -link it to Outlook -select which folder/messages you want to export -etc... You can of course also initiate an Export. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "anythingreally" wrote in message ...

Extracting msgs from .pst file programmatically?
I have a program (mine) running on my desktop or laptop for that matter, when
it searches for files and concepts, I'd like it to be able to search all my emails (inbox and sent) as well, but just the msg body part to start with. Doable? Thanks.

Extracting msgs from .pst file programmatically?
No, I really wouldn't go that route. Why duplicate all your Outlook items
for that? There are plenty of indexing tools available which can index Outlook items, local folder and network folders. If you are going to extract all your Outlook data, what will keep it synched? What happens with items that get deleted in Outlook, what will happen with items that get deleted which were extracted? What if Outlook isn't running? Those are a lot of exceptions to deal with making your solution a very cumbersome one to deal with and requires Outlook integration anyway. In that case, index but certainly do not extract. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "anythingreally" wrote in message ...
