future of Outlook code?
I was at LinuxWorld last week in NYC and one of the vendors said that future versions of Exchange will not support VBA/VBScript because of the security issues/flaws. This was their reasoning/claim for not including support for it in their product that competes w/Exchange. Does anyone know if this is true or not? pico nazzaro 30-Jan-2003 11:57 |

Nothing like scare tactics as a marketing tactic, is there? Accurate, too: Exchange Server has never supported VBA, and Exchange's support for VBScript for event scripting doesn't have security problems because it runs only on the server, under a specifically authorized account. Ironically, if what they were saying is that their product provides no server-level programmability on their product, then that means that all programming has to take place at the client level, making it dependent on the VBA/VBScript model that they seem to be so bothered by. |

Hi, I'm trying to write an outlook script which will go through the calendar and tell me if specific times are free. For example, I want to know if 9:00, 11:00 and 1:00 are free and if so put that that in an email(generating an email I can probably do). What has me stuck if finding if specific times are free. I do a lot of scheduling and manually send an email to clients with the next five slote available for training (9, 11, or 1:30). I'm just trying to automate things a bit. Any help is very much appreciated, thanks in advance |

Yves, the most direct approach would be to use the Recipient.FreeBusy method, using your own default address to generate the Recipient object. Another might be to return all the calendar items for today and figure out which slots aren't taken -- see http://www.slipstick.com/dev/finddate.htm for information on searching for specific dates. In the future, please ask your questions in a new post, rather than piggybacking on some existing thread. |
