best practice for connection string for form?
I have a couple of Outlook forms that play a part in a larger application.
Currently, we have hardcoded the database connection string on those forms. However, I would prefer to have it be something that can be more easily configured without having to change the forms' code (or have any install on client machines). Is there a place in Exchange where configuration data can be stored centrally and retrieved by code in a form?

You could use CDO or Redemption to create a hidden message in a public folder.
