Don,

I don't know if this will be any help or not, but John Koziol wrote a couple of articles on Outlook as an automation server in the VFUG (www.vfug.org) newsletter a couple of months back. You might want to review those to see if there's anything that might fit your situation. The newsletters are available on-line at the site.

PS: Say hi to Steve Despres for me, if you would.
