[Wtr-general] Outlook Access

[Michael Bolton]

I have automated some activities in Outlook successfully with VB.  It was
painful, mostly because of the completely bizarre object architecture for MS
Office products in general and Outlook in particular.  Intuitive it ain't;
see the recent reference in this forum to the weird approach to formatting a
column in a spreadsheet in Excel.
 
IRB is your friend in this case, for sure.  But there's another question
that seems consistently to be begged:  what specific testing task are you
trying to automate, and why?  Is there a way that you could cover the risk
acceptably without devoting an ugly little software development project to
the problem?

You might want to investigate the win32::guitest project.  It recently got a
little more interest after being dormant for a while.
