Ill take a look at the link... If output of .net is fully accessible, is
there a way to make some of the inaccessible controls better? I know the
menuStrip and MenuItems need work but what about the DateTimePicker? When I
arrow up and down in it, jaws wont say anything.

As Inthane has already replied the .net languages are all accessible and so
are their outputs.  I have wrote a lot of GUI code in C# and had no
problems.  
 
You are correct in saying you can use the com stuff no matter what your
using so if your comfortable with MFC more power to you.  Now as for your
question what I think your looking for is the Outlook Object model which is
called the OOM.  Here is a link to it and you can interface with all the
calendar and tasks and everything with it.  I use the Pocket Outlook Object
Model to do this on a PDA better known as POOM

 > Well first I would like to ask why are you writing it in MFC if your
using Visual studio 2005 why not use .net. 
I am trying to write accessible programs. It appears that .net isn't
accessible fully and that can be annoying. MFC seems to be the most
accessible besides win32 and win32s (but thats a pain to use). Either way, I
would use c# if it was generally accessible. If you have ideas how to make
this happen, let me know!!

I saw the Microsoft Outlook View and a few other controls in the com list of
toolbox controls. What ones do I use and how? BTW, you can use those in .net
*grin*
 
I messed with the MediaPlayer control and it's pretty cool...
