Hi,
I need to link a table to the Contacts within Outlook.
That much I've done. But, I also need to create
additional custom fields within that table, or in another
table, to store additional information about those
contacts that can't be simply added to the Contacts within
Outlook. Since the table linked to the Contacts doesn't
appear to have a Primary Key established, I don't have a
link to the additional tables information. Where I will
run into problems, is when I have two contact names of
Steve Smith, for example.

Is this clear as mud? Thanks in advance for your time!

Hi Frank,

You posted an identical message on 18 December (Subject: Cusomizing
Linked Tables) and there was quite a detailed discussion in response, to
which you did not contribute. How about reading that thread and posting
a considered response?
 
Apologies. I saw Kathy's response, but not the others.
This is really too bad...so close, yet so far. I'll keep
looking because it does make sense that a unique
identifier should be able to be found, but...
