size=2><BR>Drew,<BR><BR>1. A PAB issue is puzzling me. My version of Outlook
(2000 SP-3) doesn't'<BR>provide anyway to specify different ways to store
contacts (personal address<BR>book vs. public, etc). I remember having this
capacity some time in the<BR>past, but don't know why not now. No PAB files
exist anywhere on my C:<BR>drive.<BR><BR>2. Thanks for the tip about Addins;
I'm looking for an Access 2000 version,<BR>so will do some exploring on
MS.<BR><BR>3. Other responders have clued me in to how to push contact/email
data from<BR>Access to Outlook, but it is not clear what happens if this is
done<BR>repeatedly (e.g. once a day with the intent of one-way
synchronization).<BR>Does Jane Doe keep getting more records added, or does
Jane Doe's record get<BR>overwritten? If the latter, is it based on an exact
match of some fields?<BR>Or must my code first wipe out all contacts in the
target location before<BR>pushing a new export of data?<BR><BR><BR>Steve

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

[AccessD] Pushing to Outlook<BR><BR><BR>Hi folks.<BR><BR>Looking for tips on
how to push contact info from Access into Outlook. What<BR>are the main
elements in the Outlook object model that let me add and delete<BR>contact
items from VBA in Access? (I don't currently need the ability to<BR>edit
existing items -- too messy to think about for Monday). The bottom<BR>line
task: delete all existing contact info from Outlook and repopulate<BR>with
the fresh info from an Access db. But, the user also needs to have a<BR>way
to independently manage their PERSONAL contacts without
getting<BR>overwritten. Separate pst files, I imagine?<BR><BR>Thank
you....<BR><BR>Steve Capistrant<BR>Symphony Information Services<BR>212 3rd
