Hi,

I'm VERY new to the developer side of Salesforce, having used the Salesforce product within our Support department in my current role.

I didn't really know where to post this, but here goes...

I would like to connect to our Salesforce DB from within both Outlook and possibly Excel using the VBA coding area from both.

Could someone explain how I go about this and whether it's possible.  I assume that it is possible from the various threads I've read so far, but if someone could maybe provide some examples of how to connect to the DB as a particular user and extract data from the database that would be great.

Many many thanks!!!!
