I was able to do this with Exchange 5.5 and 2000, I think, but it all broke when moving to Exchange 2003. Now, I use an ASP page that sits on the Exchange server itself. This ASP page is called using CFHTTP and is passed certain params such as the mailbox name. Then, the ASP page performs a query on the Exchange server and returns the results in an XML format back to the CFHTTP request. It's pretty slick and it lets me sleep at night. I gave up on getting CF to connect to Exchange directly.
It may be possible if you write a custom COM object, but I don't have a reason to do that yet. BTW, all my ASP page does is a shallow query on a mailbox to determine the mailbox and folder sizes. It then returns that info back to ColdFusion. This lets the user know their mailbox size as well as their send/receive limits that are set in Active Directory.

Just looking for examples. Just feel like I am missing an obvious resource somewhere. :) -----Original Message----- From: Burns, John D [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2004 3:05 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Outlook from CF You're actually not connecting to outlook, you're connecting to exchange server. I'd assume this might be able to be done through ldap or something like that. I'm not sure, I just wanted to clarify that outlook is just the client and exchange is the server.

Is there a relevant way or example or tags (free or $) to connect to a users Task List in Outlook 2003? Server is Web Edition 2003 & CFMX 6.1 if that matters. Thanks.
