Add contact from OUtlook to access

[Guest]

Hi!
I would like to create a button and when a click it, should open outlook
address and then I select the contacts and when I close the address book, the
contacts selected must go to a table in access.

Any body else can give me ideas to develop this function?

Thanks a lot

There is a way to do this but the programming is all in Outlook. You will
have to have an Exchange Server because it is the device that hands out the
GUID string that you'll need to connect Access and Outlook. If you only need
a 1-way connection, you won't need the server. Code to make the connection
should be available at:

http://www.outlookcode.com/

or at one of the Outlook newsgroups.

I open your link (http://www.outlookcode.com/) and from it I found many
articles, I don't know which article focus my issue. Could you tell me the
right link?

If from access I can open outlook and then from it i can export the contacts
selected to access is fine.

Thanks

That is just one site, there are many others. If all you need to do is open
Outlook from Access, have a look at:
