Hi all, I am trying to write some code (macro's, if you like) to glue together our Office applications (mainly Word, Excel and Outlook). We have a lot of different projects going on simultaneously. The idea is to develop a centralized framework (starting point, common interface) for my users to view/control their documents/correspondence, on a per project basis.
As an example, I'd like to have a control (button, menu entry) in Outlook that allows my users to bring up, say, an email for a certain contact (architect, owner, engineer, ..) on a certain project, with certain attachments, .. Currently, I have a 'public folder' in OL (Exchange) that reflects our project structure. I'll be using COM, and I could probably make an application that controls Outlook (externally). But I'd also like to have this functionality exposed in OL itself. So I guess I'll need to use VBA, but I don't really like VBA - relax, please, it's just an opinion.. ;) So, ideally, I'd like to program as much as possible in python (I'm pretty new to that, too, btw), and only use VBA if needed - say, to call python objects/methods (+ wxGUI, please). Would that be an easy, a hard, or an insane strategy? Maybe there are some tutorials on this (searched the list, but didn't quite find any). If anyone happens to have any xp/tips on this, please, fire away! Best regards, g -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
