Their was an Add-in, for Access 97, to link Exchange/Outlook tables. In A2k it was included. When you use the Link Table wizard, change the database type from Access to Exchange (Or Outlook). It will then lookup your current MAPI profile, and display what you would see in the Outlook Folder List. Pick a folder, and the wizard then creates a linked table for that folder. I recommend for testing, that you actually IMPORT the data, to test it in a truly Access table, then switch back to a linked Exchange table. Linked Exchange tables seem a little bit slow.

Hello all! So, I have finally been called upon to do some interaction with Outlook via Access...and I don't have the foggiest idea how to do it! I already took to Google, but got nothing usable. THE CHALLENGE: Given an Access database with customer records in it, I must add selected customer records to a Newsletter distribution list in Outlook via a button click from the Customer screen. The Newsletter distribution list resides within UserA's Contacts folder, but everyone in the office has permissions to view and update it. Hopefully somebody can point me to a good resource for Access-Outlook interaction, or has done this before and can provide sample code. In the meantime, I'll head back to Google and see what I can find... Suggestions? -Christopher Hawkins- -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
