Hi Ray, If you do discuss this with a programmer, you might want to bring up the possiblity of modifying Thunderbird, Firefox, and Sunbird (all from Mozilla.org) to work directly with OOo. Tb is an email program. Ff is a webbrowser. Sunbird is a calendar, PIM program. The Mozilla projects have a well-documented "extensions" and "themes" API. The Themes should make it easy for a programmer to get the OOo look-and-feel into the programs, and the Extenstions could provide the "hooks" into OOo. Some marco or something for OOo would be needed to hook into the other programs, but that shouldn't be too hard.
This would be a lot easier that writing the programs from scratch. Thanks again for your input. -Chad On 11/26/05, raymond shulley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hi chad > thanks i am not a coder but will look for some one who > is if alex thinks that a contact manager for sales > people is no a productive tool he can come work with > me in the field for 2 days and chase dead dogs > ahahahah > just kidding dont quit > sincerly ray in merced calif > > --- Chad Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On 11/24/05, Alexandro Colorado <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > wrote: > > > > > > On Tue, 22 Nov 2005 23:07:32 -0000, > > rkmsconsultants > > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > hi all > > > > iam i user only but love your work if i might > > suggest a add on or plug > > > > in a good contact manager as it is i have to > > convert to excel or csv > > > > then try outlook hahaha or use a 3rd party > > program which never seams to > > > > work right or are extremley expensive (act or > > goldmine etc) im in sales > > > > so i belive others have the same gripe ( not > > with you ) > > > > thanks for all your very good work > > > > ray shulley > > > > rkms consultanting > > > > > > OOo is a productivity suite, not a personal > > information manager > > > application. > > > > > > > > > > Alexandro does not speak for everyone in that > > regard.
