Windows users have come to expect integration within their solutions. Native Windows applications benefit from access to the COM object model, meaning that programs can interface easily with software that Windows users take for granted. One of the biggest programs that falls into this category is Microsoft Outlook.

Outlook manages a user's e-mail, contacts, calendar, tasks, etc. and is an integral part of a user experience with their Windows computer today. Outlook's capabilities are opened up to any Windows application through the COM object model, but up till now the only way to communicate with Outlook was through 3rd party VBA software technologies that are both expensive and don't keep up with today's Windows environments.

Outlook 4D is designed to change all that. Through a native 4D Plug-in that is installed on the computer running both your 4D application and Outlook, you can now address the exposed parts of Outlook right from your 4D application. No more hearing user complaints of your application not interfacing with their native calendar, or contact list, etc. By having a direct connection to Outlook on the computer, you can create a seamless path between your 4D application and the Windows user experience.

Your competitor developers are able to offer seamless Outlook integration in languages like Visual Basic, MS Access, FoxPro, etc. without a major technical concern. Now you can too - along with the fast development cycles of 4th Dimension and low cost of ownership.

Outlook 4D is sold on a module basis. Each module represents an area of Outlook that is available to your application.

We are offering access to our Beta program for Outlook 4D Calendar. If you are interested in participating in this program, please CLICK HERE to get access to downloads of the software and other information.

What's the difference between a 'Developer' and a 'Deployment' license? A Developer license allows you to develop with our plug-ins on one computer, and to deploy your applications with our plug-ins on one computer. Multiple developers working on a team, will require a developer license for each developer. Deployment license gives you a no-hassle deployment capability with our software, so that you can embed our plug-in into your deployed application on as many computers as you wish. There is no deployment licensing required other than to purchase the Deployment license once.
