Opening an Outlook PST File and Reading its Contents

[cirisha_y]

Hi All,


I am developing an application in vc++ where in the system has many users and each user is having his own outlook.pst file. My requirement is that when the user of application runs the application it display All users, when particular user is selected it display the corresponding outlook.pst file of that user. I would like to read that particular Outlook.pst address book data.

My present application could able to read from the default user outlook.pst file. I used MAPI32.dll in my application. Can any one please help me in opening any user's outlook pst file and reading its address book.

Thankyou,
sirisha.

Why do you want to allow a certain user to open the PST of another user?? That's a privacy problem...

Presently my application Displays the current user Outlook Express and Microsoft Outlook address book details to the user.Just by clicking on the mail client. Many users will be there in the system, to get the address details from the other users, we have to log off the system and login and run the application. so, we want to make the application in a way so that there is no need for the user to login again and get the address details. Through the application only he can login to that particular user and get the address book details.
