They've also evolved with important new capabilities for application development - including the Outlook HTML forms converter, Collaboration Data Objects (CDO), scripting agents, and Active Server Pages (ASP). In this book, corporate solution providers get the information they need to use this rich platform to build strategic, collaborative applications.
The book details the development environment of Outlook 98, drilling into examples of tracking, routing, knowledge management, real-time collaboration, and workflow applications. It thoroughly covers the basics for building Web-based solutions with ASP and CDO, offering best practices for debugging and development. Users then ramp up to advanced topics such as working with Active Directory Services Interface (ADSI), adding workflow to applications, and migrating solutions to the Windows NT 5.0 operating system.
