Re: Access MS exchange, Lotus Notes ODBC vs. OLE

Can you give more details as to what you are trying to do with Exchange and Lotus Notes?

Lotus Notes is a complicated beast to use progamatically but the data that it contains can be manipulated using other applications. From personal experience, I would avoid using the Lotus Notes ODBC driver as it is not known for it's stability.

If you are looking to extract content from Lotus Notes, then you may be interested in downloading the DXL libraries (C API) from IBM. This includes a couple of apps that will allow you to export Notes stuff as XML.

Actually, I don't know for sure yet.. :-\|. I'm currently just investigating the access possibilities. I'll have to simulate some basic exch/lotus tasks, such as adding/removing/querying mailboxes/information stores... Generally, modifying and browsing the structure in aplication's database - but nothing like administrative tasks - for integration testing purposes.	[reply]
