Anyone know of a good Outlook forum

Hi All

Anyone know of a good Outlook forum (not the Outlook newsgroups thanks - have yet to receive a useful answer from there) along the lines of MrExcel.com?

Richard,

You'll be hard pressed to find one as good as MrExcel, but I've used www.outlookcode.com a few times.

Thanks for that - I've used some code from there before - it's a great resource and one that I had forgotten about. Actually, that showed me something else useful (I wanted a book on Outlook Programming) so I'm going to buy the Mosher book.

Richard,

I know what you mean, but I stopped using MS newsgroups a long time ago, even for Excel queries. I recently had some problems with Windows Mail (prior to installing Office 2007) conflicting with my anti-virus software and ended up using google to find the answer, because the newsgroup was so poor.

I actually just had Sue Mosher herself reply (very helpfully) to my earlier Newsgroup post. Thanks for the heads up again Neil

...And, if you want to see what Sue Mosher does, go to her site.
Another one worth looking at -- no newsgroup, but some useful stuff on Outlook and integration with Access / Excel / Word, is Helen Feddema's site. Some good code samples there.

Sue sold slipstick.com to another company headed up by another Outlook MVP in 2004 - she is no longer connected with that website. In fact, it's slipstick.com that the ******* pointed me to to buy a commercial solution. I won't go anywhere near that site now - it's really pissed me off.

The ******* suggests a link to that place in loads of his posts - he really discredits the other Outlook MVPs if you ask me (yes, I'm still bitter). I got some excellent suggestions from both Sue Mosher and Ken Slovak though, so like I say, not all Outlook MVPs are the same...

Helen Feddema? Yep, I've got several of her books, and one that specifically deals with Access integration with other Office Apps - and it is very, very good!

Hi Richard, glad you agree with me about Helen Feddema. I reckon she covers her niche very well. I've got 3 of her books.
Sorry to hear about slipstick.com -- I used to like that site, but I know what you mean about idiots who insist on selling a utility instead of giving some good basic information.
Come to think of it, our very own firefytr knows a thing or two about Outlook...

You could try Zack's site. There seem to be some pretty good Outlook resources there.

Every question that I have posted on outlookcode.com has been answered by Sue M. Very helpful.
