How do I add apps to Journaling other than Access, Excel, Powerpoint, & Word?
 

Hi all...

Couldn't find a group for the Journal feature. I'd like to be able to add other
apps for tracking via the Journaling feature, but only the four Office apps
are available in Outlook 2002. Is there any easy way to do this?

Not for non-Microsoft Office applications, no.

OK, thanks... how about FrontPage?

I was thinking that one way to do it, though not simply, might be to
write Journal entries via Windows VBScript code, or possibly do something
similar from VBA (or other internal scripting language, if available) within
a given app.

You have to dig up the specs on the Journal log file from somewhere deep in
MSDN and write code in your target application to log everything you want
logged. Outlook will then use the log file when it starts up to journal that
application.

Offhand the only example I'm aware of is/was a journaling addin for AutoCAD.
I don't even know if it exists any longer, it's been years since I used
AutoCAD.
