Re: Talking to Outlook on NT from Oracle on UNIX

It's being done (very nicely, I might add) at Woodward Governor Company (HPUX and Sequent, not Solaris, but hey). You might send a very polite request to the DBA at woodward.com and see if he can give you a rough idea. I don't know that he participates in any of the news groups, but Bob is a nice guy. Good luck.
