Add Outlook Email account using VBA from Excel

[c03cg]

Im assuming it can be done, because 30 min's googling came up with nothing.

What i need to do is make it easier for staff at the school i work at to set up outlook to access their school email accounts...... they dont want to be adding pop and smtp details, and i dont want to set up 200+ machines

So far ive got a user form in Excel (its in excel because it looks 'freindly' to the staff) which collects the username (email address) and password in two txt boxes and thats basically all i need, the rest of the details (pop, smtp etc) all the same!

How would i go about adding the account? I dont want a complete step by step guide, just a gentle prod in the right direction a-la RobDog

Cheers in advance

I'm here but just for a bit.

There is a utility or part of Exchange server maybe that is called something like profile manager which helps to deploy outlook profiles to other systems like when used in a network environment. There are a few posts on it here on the forums. Sorry I cant remember more right now but I need to get soem sleep soon.
