We currently use Outlook 2000 w/ Exchange Server2000. I
created a new form based on the built-in post form so that
when the form is filled out, it is posted to a certain
Public folder on the Exchange server. Then i have an
Access DB that is linked to this folder. The problem is
that the link in Access only shows the built-in fields
from the Post form and does not show the custom fields
that i created.

Does anyone know of a way to get these custom fields to
show up in the linked table in Access? Where is the data
in these custom fields stored?

Thanks
 
The linked table method has major limitations, including the inability to
show even all the reasonably important fields. While articles have been
written on how to expand on this method's obvious features, 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.
