BACKGROUND INFO: I have a customized Distribution Application (VB 6.0 front end and SQL backend) that you can select Contacts from a list and using CDO send these to an E-mail (we use Outlook 2000). We are currently using Exchange 5.5 SP4 for Distribution Lists (as I need to keep the e-mail addresses private.) At present, it appears that there is not a connection for adding names from our VB apps. to creating a distribution listing. (From what I read, I cannot have a Distribution listing using the CDO as it cannot add names to Exchange??)
THE ISSUE: I am looking at automating (as much as possible) our contacts/listings/distribution lists management.
The goal is to
1) have the contacts entered/updated by the users (without goingto Exchange Admin (obviously) 🙂
2) have the listings /distribution lists hide the e-mail addresses
If anyone can tell me the ways that I may achieve this it would be very appreciated.
