A few worthwhile client-side OLE Messaging samples
are floating around and may soon join the Application Farm. Of course, you all know
OLEMessaging has evolved into a server-side capable (while still fully client-side
capable) object model called Active Messaging, and in turn into CDO. Here's the scoop.

The Sample Applications
As you groupware fans know, the Exchange Sample Applications which shipped in the 4.0
& 5.0 box are installed on a server during server install IF selected as an
option on custom install. They are made available on \\<YourServerNameGoesHere>\Sample.
The
Application Farm
TechNet bought the Application Farm, which is the future of sample applications. Via
TechNet, we will be able to distribute more sample applications in real time to our
customers. The first cut includes the Culinary Corner, a serial routing form (based on EFD
form output), and clientside VB agents which programmatically create and read data (rather
than requiring a human to do so with a form).
If you have contributions which you like to see others benefit from, we'll add them to the
farm... just mailto:AppFarm@microsoft.com . And
by all means, include a link to your web page and we'll add that to the short description
of what the sample is and why it's interesting up on the farm for all to see. And of
course, be sure to take advantage of the Application
Design Discussion to share you experiences, tips, tricks and questions with other folks who share
your interests.

minimal amount of VB using OLE S+ which allows you to generate tasks and appointmentsAnalysis of a number of surveys taken with the Survey
