I need to tie in my Access 2003 application with some groupwise functionality, particularly the groupwise calendar but probably also the address book.

I've searched here and there, but don't really see much in the way of helpful info about the process for getting this done. Can anyone suggest a book, or a site or tutorial or anything that can help me get started in this area?

TIA,
T
 
Thanks Ken,

Haven't had much of a chance to look at these. I've had some other things going on and I've been sort of setting up/testing the last few things...ironing out some bugs...making sure everything has error handlers, setting up user level security groups, etc., so it will be pretty much ready to go. Once I get a few more things done along those lines, I'm going to jump on this code and see what I can do.

I think maybe the second one has some possibilities.

Again, what I want to do is be able to add the userID for a contact (and only add that). Then, hit a button that will run code to search the groupwise default address book and, if the userID is found, update all the other info fields in my contacts table (via the form). So, I type in JJJ333 to the userID field (or, more likely, type in JJJ333@groupwiseAddress.com), and then the code will pull that JJJ333 out as the "userID", search the main address book for a matching entry, and if it finds one, pull down all the other matching contact info into the form where I just added the email address. If no entry is there, throw up a message box.

So I think I can take the parts of the code above that searches for and locates the matching userID in the groupwise address book, and once located just have a serious of lines like "mycontactsformlastnamefield=gwaddressbookLastNameField" kinda thing.

At least I hope so :)

I'll hopefully get to look at it next week. It's a short week for me and I've bought a little time I think to finish up development so it could be after xmas.

Again, thanks for all your help and I'll post back when I have a chance to get into it.

Chuck
