Outlook Calendar in MS-Access

[Guest]

I would like to pull data on a regular basis from my Outlook Calendar into
MS-Access and tie into other systems (scheduling, time reporting, etc.).
When I LINK my Calendar from Outlook into Access it has some fields I would
expect (like Subject), but other fields I am looking for - such as date of
event, start time & end time are not there.

Any thoughts?

The linked table method has major limitations, including the inability to show even all the reasonably important fields. While articles have been written on how to expand on this method's obvious features, I've never been able to duplicate the results. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/database.htm#linkedtables .

That page will also give you other ideas on how to work with databases and Outlook together. You'll need to write code or use a third-party tool that does the heavy lifting.

What information do you want to pull over? I typically prefer NOT to
link in lieu of using VBA to snoop around my calendar and folders.
