OutlookTools

This page is still a work in progress.

The OutlookTools UDF offers some often needed extended functionality to control and manipulate Microsoft Outlook. It is built on top of the OutlookEX UDF.

General

Most of the functions provide a callback function. It gets called before an Outlook item is created.

You decide how the item is being handled by setting the return value:

Return value	Action
0	Create the Outlook item, continue processing the next record
1	Do not create the Outlook item, continue processing the next record
2	Do not create the Outlook item, cancel processing all remaining records and exit the _OLT_* function.

The function is called with a parameter describing the data being used to create the Outlook item. This parameter is read only. The full description of this data can be found in the corresponding function you find below.
