Using the OutlookPoint database

If your OutlookPoint application is correctly configured you will see your selected items in the OutlookPoint database. The default database can be found at C:\Program files\PresentationPoint\OutlookPoint Standard Edition and is called OutlookPoint.mdb.

All Outlook items are stored in a specific table in the Microsoft Access database. You will find all your email messages from your inbox in the TblMail table, all calendar items in the TblCalendar etc. All relevant information of an item is stored in several columns in the table. Now you can create queries in the database in order to filter and sort your information.

 

Using the items

All Microsoft Outlook items are now kept up-to-date in your OutlookPoint database. You can now start using that information.

To display these items in a dynamic PowerPoint slide show you will have to install DataPoint on your computer. DataPoint allows you to connect to the OutlookPoint database and start using the Outlook items on your slides.
