COM Add-ins

[chrisgaddy]

Anyone created a COM Add-in of any kind? I was recently given a project and I think the best solution would be COM Add-in. The users will be communicating with clients via email and fax. The clients are loaded in a SQL Server database along with a lot of other information that they need to track. When they communicate with the client the database will need to be updated. I can't use VBA because the application will need to be installed on at least 60 machines. The ideal solution would be:

The user clicks on New Mail. They click the To... button and a custom form pops up with an explorer type interface. They make the selections and it sends it back to the recipients box.
