How do change the predefined field names in Outlook. Like User Field 1, User
Field 2, etc, to field names that everyone in my department will understand,
like "Employee #". If there is no way of changing some of the predefined
fields how can I include my user defined fields when I link Outlook to
Access? Presently when I link Outlook to my database my user defined fileds
are not included as well as some other predefined fields, such as e-mail 2,
that I would like to include. I'm trying to use Outlook contacts to store my
personnel information and then link it to Access for my tables and queries
that I need.
 
It is not possible to change the names of any properties in Outlook.

Is there anyway of includeing fields like e-mail2 into the link properties so
that they show up in Access?
 
While articles have been written on how to expand the fields exposed in a linked table, I've never been able to duplicate the results. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/database.htm#linkedtables .

That page will also give you other ideas on how to work with databases and Outlook together. You'll need to write code or use a third-party tool that does the heavy lifting.
