Link Outlook data to Access

Why don't all the fields link from Outlook to Access? For example, the Title
field in Access is empty and does not link to the Job Title field in
Outlook? (Access auto generates it so there is no way to change field label
to match Outlook label.)

My goal, use the convenience of Access for mail merges/mailings, etc. from
existing contact data in Outlook by linking the tables. The problem is that
not all data carry over into Access - like the Job Title?

Thanks!
 
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 .
