Hello,

In Access 2000, I have a contact table with basic contact
info (name, address, phone, company, email). In MS
Outlook, I also have these names and addresses stored in
the Contact section.

Is it possible to write a piece of code in Access whereby
if I update/add any record in Access, the update/addition
will also be made to the contact record in MS outlook?

Any input is tremendously appreciated!

Hi Eri,

Yes, this can be done. I have have built two modules
recently that exports tasks from Access into Outlook as
well as another feature that automatically updates the
Outlook Calendar from appointments scheduled in Access. I
was able to accomplish this by referencing some articles
in the Knowledge base. Here are a few links for you that
should help you accomplish what you are trying to do:

For Access and Outlook 2002

Hope this helps.
