Don't know how much this will help, but you can link to your email and contacts folders in Outlook2000 from Access 2000. Once you have the link set up, it would merely be a matter of running an append query (using unmatched only) to add new items to the Outlook list and an Update query to make your changes go.

I can do it ok, but only after some fancy importing and exporting and mapping of fields. It's like a big rig-a-marole, and I even forgot HOW I did it. And it's like you say.. there is no absolute "link" in order to keep Outlook updated. I have to re-export and then re-map,,, then re-import each time and it's a pain in the arse. Waiting with bated breath. Peter C. Stuart, Florida ?

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.
