access 2007 add contacts from outlook

[Gen]

Hi,

I created a contact management DB using 2003, then upgraded it to 2007. The
2007 version has a contact management template that has a handy macro which
allows you to add contacts from outlook which I copied and pasted into my
similar form. Works great in the template I downloaded, however once I put
the button in my DB it doesn't work - the macro has remained in tact and I
can see no links to DB-specific objects. I tried to create a new button with
the same macro codes and still nothing. The macro is as follows:

RunCommand: AddFromOutlook

Pretty simple, but I get the error "The command or action "AddFromOutlook"
isn't available right now".

Why oh why is this button not working for me?!?!?

I would expect the command to read:

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdAddFromOutlook

If indeed yours reads:

RunCommand: AddFromOutlook

It wouldn't run.

I put that command into the VBA code for the button and get runtime error
2046: The command or action 'AddFromOutlook' isn't available now.

I'm not reproducing that problem. Once again, let me give you the exact
syntax. Copy and paste it EXACTLY the way it appears in this post:

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdAddFromOutlook
