Hi,
I have a very serious problem.  I have been hunting the net for past 1
month, but the out come is nill.
My problem is I have to display calander items of a PST file from a ASP
page, but there is no Exchange server. I have IIS installed & running
well.
Can anybody help me solving the problem.
I just want the way I can get connected to the Outlook Pst file.

I have several documents which tells me how to get connected using
WScript.
But I cannot modify that to get the solution for my problem

I know to access outlook we need :

Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

but whenever the line is written on the page the IIS server crashes -
as if it is trying to go through an infinite loop.
This line works perfectly fine with standalone VBScript & VB6.

I need a replacement of this code that can help me connecting to the
pst files with no exchange installed.

Please help me........

That's because you can't use Outlook from services (ie IIS):

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237913/en-us

You've got a particularly awkward problem because of that -- I think
your best bet may be to write your own little server that a:talks to
Outlook, b:runs as a normal windows app, and c:can be queried by your
code running in IIS.

a: solves the PST-without-Exchange problem
b: solves the no-Outlook-in-NT service problem
c: lets you get at it from IIS

Then make your ASP (or whatever) in IIS talk to your 'outlook server',
and that should do the trick. It's not a nice solution, and it'll be a
pain writing the server stuff (raw sockets? DCOM? something else? You
can't use .net webservices, of course, because those run in IIS...) but
it should work in the end.
