Linking ALL information from Outlook Contacts to Access database

[Guest]

Linking ALL information from Outlook Contacts to an Access database. Methods
posted only provide limited data from the contacts list. Items like Notes and
other contact data are not available.

Also, I am not a programmer, so simple solutions are best or detailed
instructions are necessary.

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.
