Description: This comprehensive, example-driven book shows IT professionals how to design and build collaboration and workflow applications using Microsoft's powerful tools: Outlook 2000, the Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) libraries, Microsoft Exchange Server, and Visual Basic. Microsoft's documentation on linking these technologies is scarce, at best -- so this book fills an enormous gap. The authors' "how-to" approach starts with a big picture overview, then drills down on the capabilities and roles of each product or technology, showing how to use VBScript to construct remarkably powerful applications with surprising speed. Finally, the book walks through several sample applications representative of what enterprises are seeking to accomplish with collaborative technology, including creating and maintaining corporate directories; group scheduling; web-based custom calendar views; and expense approval systems. For all Microsoft developers seeking to create custom messaging, collaboration and workflow applications.
