Hi,

I was wondering how would one go about adding some functionality to Outlook 2002?

We wanted to have some options for handling e-mail.

Basically for example, let's say a user selected an e-mail in their inbox.

The user should be able to do the following:

Right-Click the mail.
Options would be display in addtion to what is already displayed.
Options would allow a user to extract the FirstName, LastName and E-mail Address of the sender and dump it into a sql server database.

So to take it further.. lets say you get a mail from one of your "Vendors" you right click the email and then there would be an option/button/link or whatever that would say "Add to Vendors", when clicked, it would extract the FirstName, LastName and E-mail Address of the sender and perhaps other info if possible and dump it into a sql server database table ultimately called "Vendors"

Currently, I guess we could add people within Outlook to the "Contacts/Address Book, but we want to be able to add and let's say remove from a database table from within outlook. So I guess like Outlook/Sql Server Integration

How could this be done?
