I have used ACC: Using Automation to Add Appointments to Microsoft Outlook (Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 160502) to set up Appointments in Outlook from Access which ahs worked fine. The code adds data to appointment time, date, reminder etc but can you add to the Contacts field in the outlook appointment. I've tried .Contacts = .... and .Contact = ... but cannot get it to work. Can it be done? If so what is the fieldname?
 
The property you're looking for is the Links collection. Use the Links.Add
method, which takes a ContactItem as an argument.

What is the "this" that you're referring to? The newsgroup interface you are
using apparently does not quote earlier messages in the thread, making your
latest message so short on detail that you risk not getting the answer
you're looking for. Please take the time to quote the original message.
 
Could you give me more information about Links.Add (as in your answer below) - I have not seen it before.

When in doubt, check the object browser: Press ALt+F11 to open the VBA
environment in Outlook, then press F2. Switch from <All Libraries> to
Outlook to browse all Outlook objects and their properties, methods, and
events. Select any object or member, then press F1 to see its Help topic.

See http://www.exchangeadmin.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=22254 for a
sample application using Links.
