A few things. First, you can have the users put personal contacts into their Personal Address Book (.pab files). Next, there are two ways to manipulate Outlook Contacts...one is through MAPI (or CDO), which isn't that tough, but it does require a bit of coding... The other, and I am not sure if it let's you write back to the source, but there are Add-ins for Access which let you 'link' tables to Exchange and PST files. They are available from Microsoft. Which version of Access are you using, I have the Add-in for 97.

Looking for tips on how to push contact info from Access into Outlook. What are the main elements in the Outlook object model that let me add and delete contact items from VBA in Access? (I don't currently need the ability to edit existing items -- too messy to think about for Monday). The bottom line task: delete all existing contact info from Outlook and repopulate with the fresh info from an Access db. But, the user also needs to have a way to independently manage their PERSONAL contacts without getting overwritten. Separate pst files, I imagine? Thank you....
