SQL Server Database - Displayed as Public Folder
Greetings,
My company has asked me to look at the feasibility of installing Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2003/2007.
They wish to be able to save all their contacts to a central area where they can all access each others contacts by using Outlook Business Contact Manager, this can be done no problem, but here is my question:
All of they contacts they will save will be saved to a SQL Database. Is it possible that then we can display this information, this SQL database, as a Public Folder in Exchange 2003?
Thanks

Issue description: Display the contact in the SQL database onto public folder
Per my researching, theres no function in the exchange natively which can read SQL database file and display it in the public folder
Workaround: Export the contact from SQL to a CSV or excel file, and create a public contact folder in the public folders then import them in

ORyou may need an intermediate program to be developed which communicate with SQL as well as Exchange 2003/2007 and can do modification in SQL and in Exchange with MAPI/CDO or with Exchange Web Services.
You can alsopost your question in Development forum to get better and deeper answer from an programmers prospective.
