Jason- There a probably a bunch of ways to do what you want, mostly depending on which will be the "master" list. I have some code that from Access will create a contact in Outlook. It can easily be modified to read from an Access database and insert contacts into Outlook. It does not check to see if the item exists, but that can be changed too. Open the VBA editor in Access and paste in the code. Go to tools references and select Outlook 9.0 Object Library. In the immediate window type ?NewOutlookContact you should then have a new contact in Outlook Public Function NewOutlookContact() Dim olkApp As New Outlook.Application Dim ThisContact As ContactItem Set olkApp = CreateObject("Outlook.application") Set ThisContact = olkApp.CreateItem(olContactItem) With ThisContact .FirstName = "Bernie" .LastName = "Sanders" .Save End With End Function -----Original Message----- From: Jason H.

I have a contact database in Access that I would like to have in Outlook in order to have my palm sync the information. However, I don't want to have to worry about updating all 3 locations with Client information. I would like to keep one of them current. And then with the pressing of a few buttons, have the others current (able to accept the changes). I would appreciate any advice on the easiest way to make this happen. Jason H.
