I need to have a MySql database created (tables etc) and a tool to sync the contacts from Outlook 2007 with the new database.
The executable program should not have UI, read all necesarry info from properties files and do a sync between DB and Outlook and Outlook to DB.
If I change a contact in DB then it should be changed in Outlook.
Is this possible?
Yes, it is possible. We could use one of these methods: using web service (if the mysql database and outlook at separated machines) or direct connection (over odbc or so). I could show you a demo if required, it is written in .NET
it can be done in:
.net as a webservice
.net as a outlook plugin
.net as a script that read the properties and automate the sync operation
.net as a website where you can post the pst file
please contact me for more information
i'll provide you source code and test application.
I have developed Outlook 2007 integration projects as well as many mySQL projects. If the database and Outlook is running on the same machine I would suggest a Windows service using ODBC or OLE otherwise a Windows service communicating with either PHP or ASP.
