Greetings! Welcome to Vol. 4, No. 4,
of Exchange Messaging Outlook, an occasional newsletter about
Microsoft Exchange, Windows Messaging and Microsoft Outlook, both
for users of Windows 95 and NT 4.0 and for organizations using
Microsoft Exchange Server.
I've returned to Moscow from an all-too-short respite on the scorching East Coast of the U.S. Because so many new products and updates have been released since the Outlook 2000 launch in June, this issue of EMO is devoted to a few brief updates -- including my new book and upcoming pre-MEC workshop! -- and the usual utilities list. Today's highlights:
Regular features:
Slipstick site changes Many thanks to the dozens of people who've written about the changes at http://www.slipstick.com -- mostly with positive comments and suggestions. Every note is read, and your comments weighed as we try to find better ways to present more Outlook and Exchange information. Outlook 2000 free with Exchange Server CAL It took a long time for the information to appear at Microsoft's web site, but the news is good: At least in the U.S. and Canada, your Exchange Server Client Access Licenses entitle you to install Outlook 2000. See http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/55/gen/OrderOutlook.htm for details and an online order form. Office 2000 expired? Huh? Beginning August 1, many people running Windows 98 and Internet Explorer 5, but who never installed a Beta version of Office 2000 (and, in most or all cases, never installed any version of Office 2000 at all), began getting the following message on their computers when attempting to launch Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer, or My Computer:
The Office 2000 beta really did expire August 1, but this message was appearing on machines where people had never installed the beta. See http://members.xoom.com/Khephra/o2kbeta.htm for details and a solution compiled by some of the great MVPs who help you get answers in the microsoft.public.* newsgroups. Teach Yourself Outlook 2000 Programming I'm thrilled to announce that my latest book, Teach Yourself Microsoft Outlook 2000 Programming in 24 Hours, has been published by Sams and is available for online ordering at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=067231651X/cdolivthepremier/ and, I hope, will turn up at your local bookstore soon. Check out the table of contents at http://www.slipstick.com/books/tyo2kp.htm. I wrote this book both for the Outlook enthusiast who wants to make Outlook do everything but brew coffee and for experienced developers who need a quick start toward understanding how to work with the Outlook object model. Tell me what you think by posting a review on the Amazon.com page for the book. MEC training opportunities In the same vein, I'll be giving an all-day Jump-Start Workshop: Outlook and Exchange Programming in Atlanta, Sunday, Oct. 3, the day before the Microsoft Exchange Conference begins. This training session will show you how to design practical Outlook forms, produce custom reports from Outlook/Exchange data with Word, and use VBA to add new functions to Outlook 2000. You'll also learn how to create scripts that run unattended on the Exchange Server and connect Outlook and Exchange Server folders to databases. If you want to attend some of the developer sessions at MEC, get ready by joining me for a day of total object model immersion! I'm really looking forward to meeting so many of the people I've corresponded with over the past few years. Then, on the day after MEC, Friday, Oct. 8, you have a choice of two advanced developer workshops -- one on creating a "Digital Dashboard" with Exchange "Platinum" and a session on building a complete sales automation application. Get more details and register online for any of these workshops at http://exchange.devx.com/mec. Bonus: My picture's on the page! Thanks to our sponsors The Slipstick Systems site upgrade not be possible without our sponsors. These companies have been generous with their support, and we look forward to continuing our association for some time to come. Please check out the products and services they have to offer:
