You could do it with some simple CDO or MAPI calls but the overhead would be
brutal and you'd never get the data in time unless you were running the CDO
or MAPI calls on a dedicated Exchange server. If the data doesn't change
much might be simpler to periodically export the data as a CSV or whatever
and then import it into a *good* database (which you can do right from
within Outlook).
