Windows Address Book

[Guest]

I need some assistance in enabling an Access Database (Access 2000 and XP) to export data to the Windows Address Book for use in Outlook Express
At present I have written code to Export records to a csv file from a command button and can import this into the Windows Address Book through Outlook Express menus
I would like to do this in its entirity from a Command Button in Access
The other requirement is to create groups (Access data has a field with the group name for this purpose) and export the data into the respective group in the Windows Address Boo
I consider myself to be an advanced programmer and the basic strategy along with any Add Ins or References that need to be installed or activated.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

GSCS: If you share address book data with Outlook you are
half way there. In Outlook, click Import/Export, Export
to a file, Microsoft Access, select Contacts, provide
path info and filename and you will now have a contacts
table with 87 fields for all the data than can be stored
in a contact. You can use Access to update this info and
Outlook to refresh the Addressbook by importing the
Access table. Does that help?
