Linking Access To Outlook

I've linked my A 2000 database to Outlook. But I'm not seeing all of the
columns that I need.



When someone sends me an email with different "From" and "Reply" addresses,
I don't see the column for the "Reply" email address.



In addition, if the email provides a real name: "Joe Smith" in the "From"
field, there isn't any column that displays the actual email address.



How can I display all of the columns that I need in the link to Outlook?



Regards,

Alan
 
You can't if you use the built-in Access linking. That provides only a
subset of the properties available on Outlook items. For any additional
information from the Outlook items you would need to write code and use
Outlook automation instead of the Access linking.
 
Unfortunately, when you LINK to Exchange or a .pst file only certain columns
are returned. However, depending on what you're trying to do, the OUTLOOK
VIEW CONTROL may be the way to go. The OVC basically gives you the ability to
view Outlook from within Access and to
programmatically work with items just like you're in the full Outlook client.
 
Thank you!
