CDO & MAPI Programming with Visual Basic:

Acknowledgments

Please take a few minutes to read the names of the people who made this project a success—they’ve earned it, and I am humbly grateful to them all.

Thank you to Michael Bertrand and to Nicholas Wootton, two colleagues and friends who critiqued most chapters before I submitted them to my editor. You are holding a finer product because of their facility with both technology and the English language.

Thank you to Daniel J. Mitchell and to Siegfried Weber for their careful technical review of the manuscript after it was completed.

Thank you to the partners at Tara Software, Inc.: Roger Mills, Lynne Pilsner, Larry Kloepping, Garrett Peterson, and Dan Phelps. Because of their vision of a “Taliesin for developers,” I’m happy when the alarm clock rings on Monday morning. Because of their flexibility, I was able to take a part-time leave to work on this book.

Thank you to the Quality Assurance team at Tara Software, Inc. These folks seemed to take genuine pleasure in supplying me with specially configured machines when I needed things that were difficult to set up on my home computer. They are the very definition of customer service.

Thank you again to Michael Bertrand for teaching me how to write Windows software. That was back in the days of “C SDK” programming, and it sure was fun. Mike is a tireless teacher of mathematics and programming at Madison Area Technical College in Madison, Wisconsin. His enthusiasm for coding and teaching is renowned in Madison’s development community. ...
