Thanks. Is it true that vsto add in written for outlook 2003 will not work
for later outlook versions? I am trying to avoid traditional vb as it is now
bit old and I want to stick to current technologies if possible.

Thanks

Regards

Essentially you will need to trap the Application.ItemSend event and read
the data from the item passed to your event handler.

Hi

I need to develop an add-in for outlook 2003 and above that does the
following;

When a certain external application sends email via outlook, the outlook
add-in adds certain info into a database table. Some of this info comes
from the calling external application.

I have not developed an outlook add-in before but I am a proficient
developer of vba and vb.net. What would be a good place to start for this
sort of project?

Many Thanks

Regards
