[eGroupWare-developers] Re: Update of eGWOSync..

[<hei...@0x...>]

Glad to see you're back in the game! I've been on vacation for the last two
weeks, and haven't so much as looked at the code in that time ;)

I am 100% positive that Windows 2k w/ Outlook 2k cannot add the eGWOSync button
to the Standard toolbar without it being like this. However, the generic object
still works under all the other tested versions, so I see no reason to use the
specific Outlook.Application object rather than the generic object. I spent
dozens of hours on this problem and finally decided this was the only solution.
If there's something I'm missing please let me know.

This is probably much better, I'll take a look asap.

I'll be back to work tomorrow (the 31st), and should have time to look at the
code (and fix a bad bug that people have reported) either then or the day
after.

Cheers,
