If I remember correctly, this code comes from a Microsoft KB article.
You'll need, of course, to modify it to use your table, form and field
names.
First, set a reference to the Microsoft Outlook xx.x Object Library, where
xx.x is the version that you are using. Then, put the following code behind
a command button on a form:
Dim oOutlook As New Outlook.Application
Dim colItems As Items
Dim rsCont As Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strMsg As String
strSQL = "Select ContactName, EmailAddr from tblContacts " _
& "WHERE ContactName is not null and EmailAddr is not null;"
Set rsCont = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset)
'Get a reference to the Items collection of the contacts folder.
Set colItems = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI"). _
GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts).Items
Do Until rsCont.EOF
If Not blnIsContact(rsCont!ContactName, colItems) Then
With colItems.Add
.FullName = rsCont!ContactName
.Email1Address = rsCont!emailaddr
' Offhand, I don't remember the Item Property Names
'for Birthday, etc., but you should have no problems finding
them.
.Save
End With
End If
rsCont.MoveNext
Loop
rsCont.Close
MsgBox "Done!"
End Sub
END OF CODE TO BE COPIED TO COMMAND BUTTON
'PASTE THE FOLLOWING CODE INTO ONE OF YOUR PUBLIC MODULES
Public Function blnIsContact(strName As String, colItems As Items) As
Boolean
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strMsg As String
'Search for the FullName (strName) in Contacts. If it is found,
'notify the user.
Set varItem = colItems.Find("[FullName] = """ & strName & """")
If varItem Is Nothing Then
blnIsContact = False
Else
strMsg = "The contact named " & strName & " already exists. " _
& Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "Do you want to add this contact
anyway?"
If MsgBox(strMsg, vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
blnIsContact = False
Else
blnIsContact = True
End If
End If
End Function
END OF CODE TO BE COPIED TO PUBLIC MODULE.
hth,
