Jason - Depending on your constraints for the runtime / player of the application you could use Proto to host the Flash files as sort of an integration and scaffolding layer, then use VBA to integrate w/ office apps. Here's two links if you want to check that out: 1. Proto flash integration: http://www.protosw.com/products/features/flash 2. a movie/ demo showing Outlook contacts pulled and put onto a Yahoo! map (that is just a SWF running in Proto. sort of like you would do w/ the calendar): http://www.protosw.com/products/intro-movie
I'm happy to answer questions that are non-flash related about Proto off-list too if you want to email me directly.

Can a third party app for Flash be used to call an application which will retrieve this data? I know there would be security issues on that too, but I was tasked to investigate this. I might have some resources to write that application, but wouldn't know what the possibilities would be on the Flash end. Anyone done any integration with Outlook before? Thanks.
