For lack of a better starting point I was hoping to get a bit of
feedback on customizing outlook. I have a client with an existing, but
lousy powerbuilder/ms sql backend crm system. The question was raised
as to if it would be possible to push appointments from outlook to the
custom application database.

My thought was that an appointment form would get customized and have a
dropdown for the company (populated from the legacy db),
contact(populated from the legacy db), contact type and note. A
command button would fire off the code to push this into the database.

I suspect that I'll order up http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx.
as a reference.

Couple questions... any other suggested references, guides or online
tutorials? When I pull up the form design view, I'm not seeing options
to edit code for events (i.e. properties of a button in VB or
Access)... so this may reveal to you how basic of a starting point I'm
at.

Am I going about this the wrong way?

Thanks
