 DCOM settings needed on client and server for remote Outlook application

Hi All,

Im trying to create a class in VBA that connects to a remote Outlook
application that will create Tasks and read them.

I have it working for my local computer but not a remote one.
I know it has to do with DCOM settings but I'm not sure what they need
to be.
As far as I can tell I all i needed to do was add me on host computer
with full rights and access privileges on host's DCOM settings.
Also another thing that puzzles me is that Microsoft Outlook
Application doesnt exist as one of the applications under the
applications tab in DCOMCNFG ?

I have Office 2000 installed and what I think are proper references
set in VBA.

Any help would be appreciated as I find solution on any microsoft
site.

Outlook is not suitable for running as a DCOM app. Find another
approach. And BTW, CDO can't be used in DCOM either.
